At the March 23 Infrastructure & Technology Committee meeting, several high-cost projects were approved that will directly impact utility reliability and public health in Aurora, particularly in Ward 7.
Most notably, the committee approved a $1.85 million contract with Girardi Sewer and Water Company for water main replacements. This project will target Liberty, Catherine, Beckwith, and Sulphurwood streets—areas that have seen frequent pipe breaks. This is a major investment aimed at stabilizing critical water infrastructure for those residents.
In a related move for public safety, the committee approved an intergovernmental agreement with Kane County to facilitate reimbursement for lead water service replacements in Ward 7. This partnership helps the city manage the financial burden of removing lead service lines.
Other approved expenditures included over $882,000 for new fleet vehicles (including plows and a sewer truck) and $175,000 for furniture and sound masking at the 311 Call Center. As these projects move from approval to implementation, residents should monitor the timelines and impact on local street access.
