Frankfort Elevated Tank, Wells, and Water Treatment Plant
Overview
The Village needed additional water system capacity to serve the southern extents of the Village’s service area and required two new wells, an elevated tank, and a water treatment plant to be designed and constructed as soon as possible in order to provide sufficient water for the summer peak demand period.
