2024 Budget In Brief

Over the next several years, Public Works will be addressing all Level 5’s and 4’s with the goal to have stewardship management of all Village Basins. The Village will use the best practice of clearing invasive vegetation, stabilizing erosion, fixing infrastructure inlets/ pipes, and installing native plantings. There are currently privately owned storm basins in the Village of Orland Park. In 2024, Public Works will be concluding the inspections of these private ponds utilizing the same scoring method. The summary report will detail the condition of each basin, provide photos of current conditions, and develop short-term and long-term restoration requirements that will be provided to the owners of the private detention basins (ponds).

The Village of Orland Park’s Public Works Department maintains the public sanitary sewer mains throughout the Village, and is responsible for preventative maintenance and repairs of miles of sanitary sewer mains, over manholes, and sanitary lift stations. Other maintenance activities include routine televising, flushing, root cutting, and the maintenance and repair of pipes, pumps, motors, and electrical components. Sewage/ wastewater lift stations, also called pump stations, are used for pumping wastewater or sewage from a lower to a higher elevation, particularly where the elevation of the source is not sufficient for gravity flow. In 2024, a design for the Wolf Road-Spring Creek lift station force main will be completed for future construction. The sanitary sewer collection system also requires ongoing rehabilitation to minimize backups and address infiltration and inflow of storm water into the sanitary system. This work includes cleaning and televising sewer mains in high priority areas, smoke testing to determine locations of breaks or unknown connects, sanitary main lining to stop infiltration, and grouting of sewer mains and manholes. These activities will continue each year to determine the structural integrity of the pipes and which areas will require rehabilitation work. 4503. #"4*/ 803, The Village of Orland Park maintains publicly owned storm basins both dry bottom and open water. In 2021, a Storm Water Master Plan was completed that ranked our basins on a scale of one through five, with level one being best condition and level five being XPSTU DPOEJUJPO
