PUBLIC WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Vinton’s contract completion date has been extended to August 28, 2022 to allow time for lawn restoration and seed germination to take place.

The Village’s onsite construction Representative, Isak Fruchtman of Strand Associates, conducted an additional walk through of the entire project area related to surface/lawn restoration on Friday 7/8/22. The attached PDF is a plan set that marks out the area on each property that needs the contractor’s (Vinton) attention. This was sent to the Contractor on 7/14/22. You can view this markup by clicking on the following link: Outstanding Restoration Items For Vinton as of 7/8/22. Conduct a word search for your house number (i.e., “7349”) to find your specific property more efficiently.

Specific concerns should be directed to Isak from Strand at 414.982.2300 x1535 or Isak.Fruchtman@strand.com.

PUBLIC WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

The Village conducted a “punch list” walk through with Vinton, the public water main contractor, on Friday May 20th and Monday May 23rd. The purpose of the walk through was to generate a list of items to be completed or corrected. This included a review of each property affected by the public water main construction. Vinton and their subcontractors will be working over the course of the next few weeks to address the noted items. This includes some fine-grading and re-seeding on most properties. If you feel that something has still not been addressed AFTER the restoration has been done, please contact Isak from Strand at 414.982.2300 x1535.

Also be aware that a similar walk through has yet to occur related to the work of Mid City, the Village’s private property plumbing contractor. Mid City has a contractual obligation to come back for landscape restoration on the properties they disturbed. Mid City’s restoration work will likely begin in June.

The Village Board took action on May 24, 2022 to allow Mid City to continue to work on properties beyond the June 1, 2022 deadline on the condition that by that date 1) the owner of the property has completed their consent agreement to allow Mid City to do the work, and 2) Mid City has pulled a building permit to do the work on that property. Property owners that have not signed a consent agreement and have not had a building permit pulled for the work necessary to connect their property to municipal water on or before June 1, 2022 should prepare for enforcement action by the Village.

PUBLIC WATER MAIN CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

This notice has been sent to everyone in the Village as a general update. The Contractor has completed installation and testing of all water mains. In 2021, approximately 150 residential properties have connected. Work at the well sites will be starting in 2022. This includes upgrading the Lannon Estates well to municipal grade, rehabilitating the well at Whispering Ridge, and adding a third booster pump to Whispering Ridge. These projects make the entire system more reliable and add fire protection capacity. This winter, the Village will be exploring how to use USDA-RD contingency grant funds made possible due to the projects tracking under budget.

RESTORATION WORK

Now that snow has arrived, the Contractor is likely unable to complete all restoration work. However, they are required to come back in Spring 2022 to complete whatever cannot be finished. The Village has not signed off on or paid for final restoration work and will do a comprehensive review in the spring of the entire project area. Restoration work is also part of the 1-year project warranty period. For example, any seeded areas that do not grow will be re-seeded in the spring. In the meantime, if you have an important or unique restoration need, please contact the field engineer: Isak Fruchtman, Isak.Fruchtman@strand.com, 414-982-2300 x1535.

OPTION TO KEEP YOUR WELL FOR OUTDOOR USE

The Village Board approved an ordinance in November 2021 to allow residents who have connected to municipal water to keep their well for outdoor use. Well Operation Permit forms are available at Village Hall and online at www.villageoflannon.com/water. Property owners have 90 days after connecting to municipal water to apply for a permit or to abandon their well. The cost of well abandonment that happens within that time frame is 100% covered by the Quarry Grant Fund (there is no longer a 50% match requirement).
