The Village of Pleasant Prairie will continue a project that began in 2020 to replace the existing ductile iron water mains in the Chateau Eau Plaines neighborhood. The native soils in the area are corrosive, and the original underground iron water main pipes from the 1970s are deteriorating. The Village replaced most of the existing ductile iron water mains along 79th Street, 115th Avenue, 79th Place, and a portion of 105th Avenue last year and has budgeted funds for further rehabilitation work in 2022.
The Village will improve the remaining ductile iron pipes along 105th Avenue and 77th Street. The project will also replace corroded bolts for all the old fittings and fire hydrants along 82nd Street, 109th Avenue, 80th Street, 111th Avenue, and 112th Avenue. After completing the water main improvements, the Village will pave the improved roadways except for 109th Avenue because it is currently a private roadway.
