May 18th, 2021 The Twin Lakes Village Board selected a contractor for its multi-million dollar wastewater treatment system at Monday’s regular meeting. The work will go to Joseph J. Henderson, Inc. of Gurnee, Ill. in an amount not to exceed $11,828,000. Henderson’s bid was the lowest of three submitted. “It’s basically at budget for what we planned on over the last year,” said Greg Droessler, village engineer. The project includes upgrades at the wastewater treatrment plant, most of the village’s 12 lift stations, construction of a new garage, a sludge storage tank, a sludge thickening building and an electrical building. Besides increasing capacity to required levels, the sludge related aspects should allow the village to greatly reduce sludge removal costs by allowing sludge to be pumped and removed from the plant site less often.
