Project Description:  The project will install approximately 12,300 feet of recycled water pipeline.

Project Location:  The pipeline route is planned primarily along Pourroy Road from Brookfield Park to Sheffield Park.  The route also connects west on Skyview Road and goes southwest on Algarve Avenue to connect Susan La Vorgna Elementary School and Emerald Park to the system.  The pipeline route also has a small section of alignment along Benton Road, east of Pourroy Road.

Project Timeline:  The project is set to begin construction in Fall 2022 and is set to finish by Fall 2023.  Expect traffic delays, detours, side-street closures, lane closures, temporary no-street parking, and traffic flaggers during this time.

Project Purpose:  The project will allow Emerald Park, Brookfield Park, Susan La Vorgna Elementary School, and other Valley Wide Recreation and Park District facilities to use recycled water instead of potable water for landscaping irrigation purposes.
