Title
Amendment to I-80 Sanitary Sewer Service Agreement with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD)
History
In 1999, the Village entered into an agreement with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) to serve the I-80 Corridor with sanitary sewer. The MWRD jurisdictional boundary is the county line. In order to service the I-80 Corridor in Will County with sanitary sewer, the Village entered into the Service Agreement with MWRD.
In 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency conducted a pretreatment compliance audit of the MWRD and is requiring MWRD to clarify responsibilities and obligation for certain industrial pretreatment outside their jurisdictional boundaries where the MWRD is providing service. Other municipalities that have sanitary service areas outside the MWRD jurisdictional boundary are preparing similar amendments to their service agreements.
The Village Attorney has reviewed the amendment.
