After years of water issues, the village of Dixmoor could finally see a light at the end of the tunnel, as a massive new project will replace thousands of feet worth of water mains, as well as executing other projects designed to improve water service.
According to a press release, the project will replace existing 8-inch water mains with approximately 3,700 feet of 12-inch main pipes in the village. Village officials hope the installation will result in increased water pressure, and will help to prevent water loss in the project area.
