2022 Infrastructure Improvement Project

Water services connection for each residence is progressing on Northway Drive (North of the creek) and Beverly Circle and will continue until all the services are transferred and the old main is abandoned. Water main installation on Northway Drive, south of the creek, will start after the new water main system is completed on the north side.

Resurfacing on Briarwood is scheduled for this Saturday or Monday.

With any construction project, residents on the affected streets may notice colored flags in the parkway along their street and paint marks along the curb and sidewalk. We ask residents to leave the flags in place during construction as these mark underground utilities for the contractor.

For the duration of the project, residents will retain access to their street and driveway though minor delays may occur. If you have any questions regarding construction activities, please contact Public Works at 630-823-5700 for additional information.

A map of Village streets being improved during the 2022 season is available on our website.

2022 Resurfacing Project Update

Milling on the north side of town has started and should be completed this week. Next week, milling will continue in the south side of town (starting on Camden Lane area). Paving operation is starting on the streets that have been milled by applying prime and followed by asphalt placement.

Parkway restoration, which includes new topsoil, grass seed, fertilizer, and erosion control blanket has been completed. Rain will handle a lot of the watering, but the new grass can be sensitive in its first year of growth. Please help by watering the grass seed and helping it grow into a beautiful yard.

The public will have access to the streets during construction; however, minor delays may occur. If you have any questions or concerns regarding construction activities, please contact Public Works at 630-823-5700 for additional information.
