Robinson Engineering Village Board Meeting Report

By: Jim Czarnik

August 9, 2016

Robinson Engineering has completed the second phase of the sanitary sewer investigation work within the high priority area.  House inspections were conducted to locate, remove, and prevent sources of clear water from entering the Village’s sanitary sewer system.  Clear water is water that is not contaminated with waste and does not require treatment for removal.  Clear water includes rain runoff and groundwater.  Additional sources may also exist within the private properties.  These sources can overload the sanitary sewer system during rainfall events, resulting in sewer surcharging, basement backups, and water pollution.  The inspections revealed that there are few sources of clear water within the inspections area, which is good news. 

The next phase of the work will involve manhole inspections that will take place in the coming weeks.  We will provide updates as this work progresses.

Village Engineer Report - January 26, 2016

On the agenda for approval tonight are two items relating to the Village’s annual MFT maintenance program.  This includes tasks such as snow plowing, tree trimming, street maintenance, and street lighting maintenance.   

 

Also, so the Board is aware, I have not been asked to move forward with a street resurfacing program this year due to the State’s budget uncertainty.  This would be the first year since I have served Sauk Village that we have not done a street resurfacing program.  


We are not getting any CDBG money this year however, can certainly bank the funding we receive from the State this year and put it towards a larger street resurfacing program next year.  I just want to be sure that is what you want.
