Overview 

Construction of the Well #5 project for the Village of Western Springs was financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF program is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and receives a portion of its money to fund these types of projects from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The project includes well drilling, pumping equipment, the electrical building, water transmission to the water treatment plant (WTP), and SCADA valve improvements at the WTP. 

Once complete,  will improve water quality and water system reliability for residents and businesses in the Village of Western Springs by providing an alternate water supply if one of the other supply wells is taken out of service. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities the resources necessary to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that protects on of our most valuable resources: water.
