DIVERSEY WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Diversey Watermain replacement project is underway along Diversey from Clark to Sheffield, in accordance with Mayor Rahm Emmanuel's Building a New Chicago Infrastructure Investment Program. The construction is slated to be complete by mid-March 2018 with restoration following in mid-April of 2018. If you would like to receive regular email updates about the progress of the project, please go to
buildinganewchicago.org to register for the WaterALERT program. Please submit Project #1801020. Throughout the construction process traffic flow will be compromised but you will always be able to reach your home or business.
IF the Water Department shuts down the water and issues a WATER BOIL order, you will need to follow the plan of operation you submitted to the Health Department.
Please find the form here.
In roughly two weeks (Week of April, 9-13), NPL will make a source connection which will have an impact on water availability. The water will be shut off for an estimated 4-8 hours starting around 9 am. Another connection will be planned for two weeks after the initial shut off. Please note, all dates are tentative based on construction.
