COOK STREET SEWER DISTRICT REPAIRS

Construction of the City of Springfield, Illinois' Cook Street Sewer District Rehabilitation and Replacement Project, located on 11th and 12th Street, was financed by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF program is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and receives a portion of its money to fund these types of projects from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This project includes replacement of severely deteriorated 24 inch brick combination sewers on 11th Street, from Cook Street to South Grand Avenue, and on 12th Street, from Stuart Street to Clay Street. Construction will begin on July 23, 2018. Once completed, it will improve water quality for area residents and businesses in Springfield by upgrading a deteriorated century old sewer to current standards. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities the resources necessary to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that protects one of our most valuable resources - water.
