March 8, 2021 GMT
GODFREY, Ill. (BUSINESS WIRE) Mar 8, 2021
Next week, Illinois American Water will begin upgrades to wastewater infrastructure in Godfrey. Approximately $750,000 will be invested to replace two sections of a 24-inch wastewater effluent main. Work will also be completed to protect the existing wastewater force main which runs from the La Vista lift station to the Godfrey wastewater treatment plant.
This infrastructure, located along La Vista Creek, will be reinforced, and protected from the natural shifting of the creek and potential creek bank erosion. According to Ric Cooper, senior design engineer, the project “will not only upgrade wastewater infrastructure but will also protect and enhance the La Vista Creek watershed.”
