Project map

Location and Description:  Project authority covers communities in Madison and St. Clair Counties, Illinois, including East St. Louis, Belleville, and Glen Carbon. The communities of the region rely heavily on combined sewer systems, some of which exceed 100 years of performance, and inadequate sewer systems. Problems created by this compromised infrastructure impact the health, water quality, and economic development potential of the area.

Activities in FY 2010 ($165k)
