JAWA PRESENTATION
The Village Manager presented alternative means to receiving
an emergency water supply should JAWA 'S facilities fail . The
Village Manager noted that providing emergency connections with
the Dupage Water Commission and Northwest Water Commissions would
be costly and born solely by JAWA as the connection would be
one-way. These Commissions are not interested in a two-way
connection that would also benefit their communities. it was
also considered to add a parallel line with a pump station or a
48-inch line, however, we would still be relying on receiving
water from the same source.
Given these alternatives, the Village Manager recommended
looking at providing the Village with emergency interconnects
with Arlington Heights, Des Plaines and Roselle, in addition to
our other emergency interconnects with Schaumburg and
Bensenville. In addition, our seven remaining wells are capable
of providing a safe supply of water in case of an emergency. The
Village Manager noted that cathodic protection is being provided
for the main 90" JAWA line.
The consensus of the Committee was as follows:
-- Approach Arlington Heights, Des Plaines and Roselle
about entering into a study of providing an interconnect
for emergency water supply. Request that these
communities share equally the cost of the study.
Arlington Heights must be approached immediately due to
the construction schedule of the full interchange at the
Northwest Tollway.
- z -
-- Have Public Works test all interconnects on a regular
basis; and
-- Have Staff report back to the Village Board on their
findings.
