WATER IMPROVEMENTS

UTILITY PLANNING

The Public Works Department has planned and begun implementing several capital improvement and maintenance projects throughout the Village. These will ensure safe and efficient water operating system well into the future. After an inspection of the Village’s water towers in 2018, the Village of Orland Park has undergone planning, design, and rehabilitation of seven water towers to include painting, structural improvements, and electrical upgrades. As of end of 2022, four of the seven towers have been completed with the three remaining to be completed in 2023 and 2024.

PIPES The Village of Orland Park is fortunate that it has no lead service lines to residents and businesses. The Village does have cast iron piping installed in early constructed subdivisions that deteriorates faster than ductile iron or high strength plastic piping. Public Works is in the process of replacing the

oldest and most deteriorated water mains that often have water main breaks. The Fairway Subdivision was completed in 2019, the Silver Lake West Subdivisions and El Cameno Rael Subdivision in 2022, and the Catalina Subdivision is in the design phase for construction in 2023-2025.
