Aldermen will vote on a $939,285 contract with Batavia-based Fox Excavating Inc. for a sewer separation and water main replacement along Hoyles Avenue and Jackson Street in the 3rd Ward.
The Aurora City Council is set to vote Tuesday night on a major sewer and water project on the East Side.
The water main replacement has been deemed necessary by city public works officials on Hoyles Avenue, between Fifth Street and Jackson Street, to improve water quality and system capacity. When there is no rain, the sewers take wastewater to about 15 interceptors that run parallel to the Fox River, and run that wastewater to the Fox Metro treatment plant, where it is treated and released into the river.
Such combined systems are no longer built, but older cities like Aurora have them. The EPA permits them, but only if the governmental jurisdiction involved has a long-term plan to convert them to separate sewer systems.
