Water Main Projects
The placement of a new water main from Hartman Lane to the Greenmount Lake Apartments along Frank Scott Parkway is complete. During this effort an emergency tie to the Illinois-American Water Company system serving Shiloh was made to allow both systems improved support in case of a catastrophic failure on either system.
The City also has started work on an extension of our services west along Milburn School Road from Pausch Road to Old Collinsville Road. This will tie into the City’s distribution system extending north along Old Collinsville Road from I-64 to Milburn School Road to better serve the growth in Fairview Heights and O’Fallon.
The replacing of aging, smaller lines in the system is limited this summer to much needed spot repairs in Fairview Heights and O’Fallon - no large projects such as the one accomplished last year in Southview Gardens Subdivision is planned.
Three other extensions are still in the works and could conceivably be completed this year: 1) an extension of a water main along the proposed E. Wesley right-of-way from Woodlake to Seven Hills Road, 2) an extension of the Old Collinsville main north of Milburn School to support additional housing construction in that area, and 3) an extension from Fairwood Hills along Simmons Road to Porter Road that will start the infrastructure support for the new Family Sports Park in that area.

Begins Monthly Billing
Monthly billing is now in place and on track with the meter replacement process drawing to a close.
Most customers have already received their first monthly bill. The monthly bills that have gone out have still been on the post card format, but look for our new full-page bill format to be unveiled soon.
The new full-page bill format will allow for the printing of more information on the bills, per customer requests, and will also arrive with a return envelope for ease of payment.
If you have any questions regarding your new bill format, your monthly bill, or any other water issue, please contact us at 618-624-4500 extension 1.
