The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District, and the City of Cahokia Heights, Illinois, recently entered into a cost-shared Project Partnership Agreement, or PPA, for sewer improvements included in the Sanitary Sewer Trunkline Project.
The $4.67 million project, of which $3.5 million was sponsored by Sen. Dick Durbin as a Congressional Directed Spending Item, will involve trenchless sewer rehabilitation of the largest, deepest, and most downstream sections of the main sanitary sewer trunkline conveying flow through the City of Cahokia Heights. These improvements will correct pipe deficiencies, restore structural stability, and ensure long-term reliability of this main conduit for wastewater transport.
