Please visit the Public Improvements Project page on the City’s website at www.stcharlesil.gov/projects for information on the start dates and construction updates for each street.
IMPROVEMENTS & PROCESS
This project has been divided into three phases to facilitate the completion of the project in a timely manner and with as little disruption to residents and properties as possible:
Phase I: A new submersible lift station adjacent to the existing station will be constructed. The current lift station will remain in service during construction and will then be abandoned in place.
Phase II: Once the new station is constructed site restoration work will start.
PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
Please note that all work will be performed within the City right-of-way. If you have any type of existing features within the City right-of-way area (i.e. sprinkler system, landscape features, special decorative rocks, brick driveways, electronic “invisible” dog fence, etc.), precautions should be taken by you, the homeowner, to remove or store these items right away to assure that they are not damaged. The City will not repair or replace private appurtenances left within the City right-of-way.
MAIL & GARBAGE SERVICE
Mail and Garbage service will not be interrupted during construction. Please leave your garbage at the end of your driveway on your normally scheduled pick up day by 6 am as pick may occur earlier than normal to avoid the construction work.
