2025 Construction Projects

Construction Updates 

If you have any project questions, contact Engineering at 630-823-5700 or visit www.hpil.org/1234/current-projects.

2025 Watermain Replacement Update: This week, the contractor completed the required testing and chlorination process for the final section of the new main. The Village is waiting for the IEPA's approval of the operating permit for that section. Additionally, the contractor has begun switching water services to the new main in the section for which the IEPA has already issued the operating permit. Next week, they will continue transferring water services from the old main to the new one. Residents will receive a notification on their door before their service is transferred.

Fiber Installation (AT&T): AT&T has several fiber installation projects throughout the Village. Any questions or concerns about these projects should be directed to AT&T’s Construction Hotline at 800-843-6581. If you leave your name, address, and phone number, they will follow up within 48 hours. 

Arlington Drive Bridge Replacement Update: This week, the contractor finished framing and poured the concrete for the walls. Next week, once the concrete has cured, the framing on the walls will be removed. The contractor will then begin preparing to construct the top deck, which will take several weeks of installing scaffolding and framing.
