Public Comment
Alderman Link read the project information from Woodard and Curran:
As you may have heard, on June 1, the IEPA released their draft Intended Use Plan (IUP) for FY24 State Revolving Fund money. This was a very successful outcome for Carlinville!
Beginning in the Fall of 2022, Carlinville started, with support by Woodard & Curran, the application process for the IEPA State Revolving Fund Loan Program for vital water and sewer infrastructure upgrade projects.
These projects include replacing nearly 8,000 feet of failing 6-inch water main with a history of frequent breaks and service outages on Hwy 108 from west of Colt Road to McCausland Street with new 8-inch water main; replacing 2,000 feet of both water main and sewer line on 108 from Alton Road to the downtown City Square also with a history of frequent breaks and service disruptions in coordination with an upcoming IDOT roadway improvement project with new 8-inch water main and 24-inch sewer (replacing existing 22-inch brick sewer); and finally as required by the Illinois Lead Service Line
Replacement and Notification Act, the City is required to inventory water service line materials and replace lead service lines over a duration of years, the City has attracted substantial funding from the State to start this project as well, all in effort to improve the health and safety of City’s residents.
Carlinville is included on the Draft IUP for the following items:
1. Water main replacement, Hwy 108 west of Colt Road – score = 200; estimated principal forgiveness $707,500 on total project cost/loan of $1,504,000 (Estimated Construction Start Date 8/21/2023)
2. Water main replacement, Hwy 108 downtown – score = 200; estimated forgiveness $542,500 on total project cost/loan of $1,085,000
3. Sewer main replacement, Hwy 108 downtown – score = 375; estimated forgiveness $440,100 on total project cost/loan of $1,467,000
4. Lead Service Line Replacement – score = 270; requested loan amount $349,000; reserved principal forgiveness, 100% $349,000
Total Loan Amount requested and approved: $4,405,000.
