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.

​

Scope

  • Assisted in site selection based on ground elevation and proximity to the 12” water main

  • Designed tank’s access driveway and performed wetland delineations since the road crosses through a floodplain and wetlands

  • Prepared the project plan and environmental documentation

  • Expedited the design components to meet the Village’s accelerated project timeframe

  • Assisted the Village through the IEPA application process, facilitating 0% IEPA Low Interest Loan with 25% forgiveness

  • Extended 12” water main from an existing distribution system to new tank location

 

Results

  • Corrected system pressure deficiencies experienced during peak demand period

  • Reduced the Village’s current IEPA recommended storage deficiency by 50%

  • Increased storage capacity to meet current demands and correct system pressure deficiencies

  • Project savings of $672,000
