WASTEWATER DEPARTMENT

WASTEWATER UTILITY COLLECTION SYSTEM

The wastewater collection system serves the developed area of the Village covering approximately 8 square miles with 70.53 miles of sewer main, and 1, 261 manholes.

The collection system has ten lift stations, central collection points for a service area, throughout the Village. The wastewater flows by gravity to a lift station; it is then pumped via force main to the service area of the gravity interceptor, or in two cases, to the service.

There are two pumps in each lift station, which cycle on and off automatically. Floats, or a level sensing system, sense the liquid level in the collection wells and control the pumps. All lift stations are monitored for alarm conditions by radio telemetry. Any alarm conditions are transmitted to the master unit at the WWTF and system personnel are notified by a telephone dialer system.

The Wastewater Utility served 3,419 customers at the end of 2001. The estimated 2001 population was 10,682.
