Public Invited To Review, Submit Comment On Stormwater Master Plan

Press release from the Village of Lisle:

Developing a stormwater master plan is the process of identifying and prioritizing capital improvement projects that will improve residential stormwater drainage. The plan, which covers a period of ten years, will identify drainage conditions throughout the Village and efforts that can be made to improve those conditions. Undertaking this process includes reviewing past drainage studies, completed projects, related documentation, and an inventory of watersheds.

To assist the Village in the conduct of this work, the Village has contracted with Engineering Resources Associates (ERA). ERA has subsequently identified, reviewed, and prioritized areas of localized flooding that have impacts on both private properties and public rights-of-way throughout the Village. This work also included the use of topographic maps, utility atlases, field visits, issues raised by residents and businesses, as well as floodplain data, in an effort to identify areas in need of examination.

The Village is seeking the public’s input to ensure that the finalized plan best meets the needs of the Lisle community. A draft stormwater master plan is now available for review. This plan will be used in the development of future recommended infrastructure projects over the course of the ten years covered by the plan. Please provide any input you may have, or submit questions, to Assistant Public Works Director, Adam Hall, at ahall@villageoflisle.org or (630) 271-4172. Written comments may also be submitted through mail or hand delivered to Village Hall, located at 925 Burlington Ave, Lisle, IL 60532.

Individuals may also attend and provide their input during the September 21st Committee of the Whole meeting, held at Village Hall, 925 Burlington Avenue, where the plan will be discussed. The meeting will take place immediately following the regular board meeting, which begins at 7:00 p.m.
