Offices), is requesting reimbursement in the amount of $7,700 for building
Improvement’s previously authorized under the Facade Grant Program.
Improvements to the building included rebuilding the first floor storefront windows
and bulkhead (wood wall under the windows).
2
City Council approved the Grant under the 2015 Fiscal Year Budget in the amount of
$8,202 (being 50% of the estimated project cost). The actual project cost was under
Budget, therefore, the reimbursement is lower than expected at $7,700 (being 50%
of the actual project cost). The reimbursement will be paid out using money
allocated under the 2015 Fiscal Year Budget. The Property Owner complied with the
grant requirements in that all work was completed and contractors were paid before

LIAISONS REPORT
Alderman Perretta announced that he is working with a Lockport Resident who was
trained at “Second City”. Alderman Perretta is going to sit down with City Administrator
Benson, and come up with ideas to get some different family entertainment to come to
Lockport.

SWEARING IN OF NEW POLICE CHAPLAIN
Mayor Streit acknowledged the new Police Department Volunteer, Ernest Jones. He is
from Christ Vision Community Church. Mayor Streit swore in Ernest Jones as Chaplain
for the Lockport Police Department, and the Community.
EXTENSION OF NEW LENOX BOUNDARY AGREEMENT
Administrator Benson presented his and Interim City Attorney, Tom Thanas Memo
dated January 12, 2016.
As authorized by the Illinois Municipal Code, over the years, the City of Lockport has
entered into Boundary Line Agreements with many of its neighbors – Joliet (1995), New
Lenox (1995), Lemont (1997), Homer Glen (2004), and Romeoville (2014). Boundary
Agreements may have a duration of up to 20 years, and they provide for stability and
effective land management, transportation, and utility planning by all parties.
The City Administration has met with the New Lenox Administrative Staff to discuss a 20year extension of the Boundary Agreement that was approved in 1995. New Lenox is
receptive to extending the Agreement without making any changes in the boundary line
that was agreed upon in 1995. The only change is that a small parcel known as the Buck
Property will be on the Lockport side of the boundary line going forward rather than
having that parcel subject to annexation by either Lockport or New Lenox. The only
restriction on Lockport’s future annexation of the property is that if the parcel is
developed for something other than Single Family Residential Use, then the Developer
must comply with the New Lenox screening and landscaping requirements in effect at
the time of development since the adjacent parcel in New Lenox has already been
developed as a Single Family Residential Subdivision. The City Administration finds
the restriction acceptable and is recommending its approval.
The approval of a 20-year extension will allow Lockport to continue with the orderly
developed of its southern sector, especially as new transportation options become
available. Without the extension, the City runs the risk of having Developers put nearby
Municipalities in a competitive situation for offering development incentives that would
not ordinarily be offered nor would they be in the best interests of the City and its
Residents.
The City Administration is recommending that the City Council give preliminary approval
to the Boundary Agreement extension. The City Administration will then comply with
statutory requirements for the publication and giving of notice of the Boundary
Agreement Extension as required by the Illinois Municipal Code.
2
The Boundary Agreement Extension would then be presented for final approval at one
of the City Council Meetings in March of this year.
Alderman Perretta asked if City Administrator Benson could talk to New Lenox about
putting a street light at the corner of Oak Avenue and Briggs Street? He said there used
to be a streetlight there, but it was taken down. It is very dark at that section.
Alderman Smith asked about the utilities.
Alderman Petrakos asked if the Owner(s) of that property need to be notified?
Administrator Benson answered from his understanding New Lenox has spoken to him
(the Property Owner).
Interim Attorney, Tom Thanas said “The State Statutes that authorizes Boundary
Agreements requires a 30 day publication of notice in the newspaper and then a 15 day
notice posting it at City Hall. The Statute doesn’t require us to notify the Property
Owner(s). The Statute presumes that they follow what’s in the Legal Ads in the
newspaper. Usually when you have a parcel like this, as a courtesy, we inform the
Owner(s). We will work with New Lenox and make sure the Owner(s) of the parcel
knows that the parcel will be on the Lockport side of the boundary line with a restriction
regarding screening. Everything else remains the same as it was approved in 1995 with
the original Boundary Agreement.”
CONSENT AGENDA: MOTION TO PLACE THIS ITEM ON THE MARCH 16TH CITY
COUNCIL MEETING.
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND SANITARY
CONVEYANCE PLAN
The City recognizes the need to maintain and expand the water and sewer system
for the current burdens. As the Community grows and the Facilities Planning Area’s fill
in, we also need to address the most efficient and effective ways to provide both water
and sewer needs for the growing demands.
The 2010 Water System Master Plan provides some direction, however to better
respond to interested Developers and support growth proactively, we need to confirm
and outline our Implementation Plans for the next 3-5 years.
3
We also need to identify concerns regarding wastewater treatment and conveyance
capacities to accommodate the current and future obligated flows.
Doing the update to the plans together to determine the City’s infrastructure needs will
better prepare us for not only the City’s growth, but the means to budget and afford it.
Staff is recommending both Contracts with Strand for Near-Term Water Sourcing and
Near Term Wastewater Treatment and Conveyance Systems for a cost not-to-exceed
$54,900 total or $22,000 and $32,900 respectively.
Chris and Mike from Strand were present to discuss the near term water and sewer
system needs, wastewater treatment planning, and the development of an infrastructure
growth plan for the City of Lockport.
ACTION: MOTION TO ENTER INTO TWO (2) TECHNICAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
CONTRACTS WITH STRAND FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND SEWER
CONVEYANCE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 3-5 YEARS.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN WILL COUNTY SHERIFF AND
CITY OF LOCKPORT
Chief Lemming presented his Memo dated January 13, 2016.
Currently the Will County Sheriff transports those arrested outside of Lockport, on
Lockport warrants, to the Will County Jail at no charge. The Will County Sheriff also
stores and maintains warrants originating from Lockport at no charge. The Will County
Sheriff, by Illinois law can have law enforcement agencies transport those wanted on
their own warrants themselves as well as maintaining and storing the warrants
themselves. This Intergovernmental Agreement provides that the Will County Sheriff will
continue to transport those wanted on Lockport warrants to the Will County Jail for an
annual fee of $3,868.46.
Most people arrested on Lockport warrants are arrested in Illinois and in accordance
with this Agreement, the Will County Sheriff will be responsible for transporting those
people to the Will County Jail. If a person is arrested out of State, the Will County Sheriff
will be responsible for transporting that person to the Will County Jail.
4
If Lockport PD had to transport a subject from another State, it would likely cost more
than the annual fee of $3,868.46, for one person.
If Lockport PD was responsible for transporting all subjects wanted on Lockport
warrants to the Will County Jail, Lockport PD would frequently have to call in Officers at
time and a half pay to maintain minimum Staffing levels. If Lockport PD had to transport
those wanted on Lockport warrants, the cost would be much more than $3,868.46.
It is recommended that you review the Intergovernmental Agreement as presented by
the Will County Sheriff and if no issues are identified, approve the Agreement.
CONSENT AGENDA: MOTION TO APPROVE THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE WILL COUNTY SHERIFF AND THE CITY OF
LOCKPORT AS PRESENTED.

Mayor and City Council
From:
Chief Terry Lemming
Date:
January 13, 2016
Subject:
Intergovernmental Agreement Between the Will County Sheriff and the City of
Lockport
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Currently the Will County Sheriff transports those arrested outside of Lockport, on Lockport warrants,
to the Will County Jail at no charge. The Will County Sheriff also stores and maintains warrants
originating from Lockport at no charge. The Will County Sheriff, by Illinois law can have law
enforcement agencies transport those wanted on their own warrants themselves as well as maintaining
and storing the warrants themselves. This intergovernmental agreement provides that the Will County
Sheriff will continue to transport those wanted on Lockport warrants to the Will County Jail for an
annual fee of $3,868.46.
PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES (IF APPLICABLE)
Most people arrested on Lockport warrants are arrested in Illinois and in accordance with this
agreement, the Will County Sheriff will be responsible for transporting those people to the Will
County Jail. If a person is arrested out of state, the Will County Sheriff will be responsible for
transporting that person to the Will County Jail. If Lockport PD had to transport a subject from another
state, it would likely cost more than the annual fee of $3,868.46, for one person.
RECOMMENDATION
If Lockport PD was responsible for transporting all subjects wanted on Lockport warrants to the Will
County Jail, Lockport PD would frequently have to call in officers at time and a half pay.to maintain
minimum staffing levels. If Lockport PD had to transport those wanted on Lockport warrants, the cost
would be much more than $3,868.46.
It is recommended that you review the Intergovernmental Agreement as presented by the Will County

Sheriff from the referenced originating law enforcement agency for the Will County Sheriff to
store and maintain warrants originating from that law enforcement agency and to provide
transportation of wanted persons to the county jail that are the responsibility of the referenced
originating law enforcement agency; and
SECTION 2. The parties agree that the storing and maintaining warrants originating from that

Discuss ideas of Downtown Development Committee in regards to the Downtown
Streetscape Plan: George with V3 began his discussions using a power point presentation
that addressed street typologies (asked participants to describe in one sentence a desirable
street scene for each typology); introduced project team; outlined project steps - build upon
guidelines prepared by the DDC; develop cost effective alternative concepts, prepare
accurate cost opinions, develop an implantation schedule & take advantage of the
1
opportunity being presented by IDOT’s intersection improvements. Further noted that
streetscape development needs to be looked at holistically with the IDOT improvements
including street typologies, the gateway signage & enhancement project, vault project,
Commerce Street improvements & watermain improvements.
Jodi with Teska reiterated the Streetscape Goals & Objectives and the importance of
Lockport’s historical culture and making sure that future improvements incorporate that
history (the power point presentation included a series of photos of historic elements that
represent Lockport).
George with V3 introduced the material preference exercise and asked the group to place
orange dots on their preferred options for festival streets, planter curbs, landscaping,
moveable planters, & benches. He further advised the group that locations will be surveyed
soon, weather permitting. Alternatives/scenarios for each street typology will be generated
and presented to Committee for discussion and input.
Mayor directed staff to put a copy of the power point presentation on the City’s website so
that the Committee and attendees can refer back to the various concepts discussed at the
meeting.

How far will the streetscape improvements extend? Ideally, 2nd Street to Division
Street. Improvements can vary based on location along State Street. Referring to
the Downtown Master Plan – it might be possible that some improvements can be
made during redevelopment opportunities with costs being paid by developer.
b.
What is the budget to the City from the IDOT project? Depends on overall
improvements; not able to answer right now, need to identify alternatives, but it
should be noted that the City would not be responsible for removal costs as IDOT will
be covering those; one of the reasons why it is important to do this project at the same time
as the State.
c.
Will existing street lights be re-used? It is anticipated that the existing light poles,
the clock and water fountain will be removed, stored and re-used.
d.
Need to incorporate more historic elements into streetscape. Goals should be
modified to include this.
e.
Need to incorporate elements from Lincoln Landing.
f.
Need to understand the ultimate objectives – pedestrian friendly, tells a story, shows
uniqueness of area, getting people to downtown, make pedestrian feel safe (State
being a truck route). Physical improvements but also think about the psychology
of the street – what else do we need to add?
g.
Incorporate elements that slow traffic down.
2
h.
Improvements will bring pedestrians; pedestrians will bring more shops. Need to
create pedestrian environments.
i.
Encourage merchants to encroach onto sidewalks; but also need to establish
standards (based on past experiences).
j.
Think about signage – “A” frame signs (sandwich boards); also need to establish
standards
5.
Discuss Scheduling for meeting and collaboration throughout 2016: George with V3
advised the Committee that preparation of streetscape alternatives based on results of the
material preference exercise should be ready in 6-8 weeks for presentation to the
Committee; Mayor reiterated that Committee meetings usually take place in his office on
the last Thursday of the month. Having them in his office makes it easier for members to
feel more engaged in the discussions.
6.
Discuss Commerce Street Construction for 2016: George from V3 advised attendees
that various options were provided to the City; it is anticipated that these improvements
can be completed prior to IDOT starting the intersection improvements.
7.
Discuss 2017 Implementation: IDOT intersection improvements are to begin in 2017. It
is anticipated streetscape improvements will be installed concurrently – magnitude of
improvements will be assessed according to overall costs. Phasing may be necessary
depending on the alternative chosen.

Subject:
Water Infrastructure Development Plan and Sanitary Sewer Conveyance Plan
Date:
01-12-16
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City recognizes the need to maintain and expand the water and sewer system for the current
burdens. As the community grows and the Facilities Planning Area’s fill in, we also need to
address the most efficient and effective ways to provide both water and sewer needs for the
growing demands.
The 2010 Water System Master Plan provides some direction, however to better respond to
interested developers and support growth proactively, we need to confirm and outline our
implementation plans for the next 3-5 years. We also need to identify concerns regarding
wastewater treatment and conveyance capacities to accommodate the current and future
obligated flows.
Doing the update to the plans together to determine the city’s infrastructure needs will better
prepare us for not only the City’s growth, but the means to budget and afford it.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending both contracts with Strand for Near-Term Water Sourcing and Near Term
Wastewater Treatment and Conveyance Systems for a cost not to too exceed $54,900 total or
$22,000 and $32,900 respectively.

Dear Mr. Benson:
Enclosed are two copies of the Near-Term Wastewater Treatment and Conveyance Systems
Improvements report. This report provides a brief plan of the capital improvement needs for Lockport’s
wastewater treatment and conveyance systems based on new and anticipated permitting or regulatory
requirements, current conditions, and anticipated future conditions.
The recent Lockport Wastewater Service Area Plan, provided in June 2015, identifies concerns regarding
the ability of the wastewater treatment and conveyance capacity to accommodate current and future
obligated flows. Accordingly, we recommend that the City proceed with the Sanitary Sewer Conveyance
System Development Plan as a first step. This will help the City’s Community and Economic
Development Department better respond to interested developers and support requests for property or
investment in infrastructure needs for the City’s growth. This will also help confirm and support the nearterm wastewater treatment and conveyance systems needs outlined in this document. As requested, a task
order for this effort is being prepared for your consideration.
Please call with questions.

City of Lockport, Illinois
Near-Term Wastewater Treatment and Conveyance System Improvements
This report provides a summary and brief discussion of the wastewater treatment and conveyance
system improvement projects recommended to be implemented by the City of Lockport, Illinois (City),
over the next five years. The projects are separated into three categories; wastewater treatment,
wastewater conveyance, and stormwater. Recommended years of implementation for the steps in each
project are also discussed.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City has experienced a wide range of development and growth over the last 15 years, with significant
growth through 2008. During this time, the Bonnie Brae wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was
expanded in 2001 and the Division Street WWTP was expanded in 2007 by Robinson Engineering to
accommodate near-term anticipated flows and loadings. However, no long-term wastewater treatment or
conveyance planning was performed at that time to address obligated flows, annexations, and potential
growth. After 2008, development and growth slowed down, which in turn removed the immediate need
to continue making improvements and expansions. However, during the last two years, development and
growth have returned and, based on preliminary service area planning Strand Associates, Inc.® (Strand)
performed last year, the City needs to plan and prepare for growth. The need for expanded wastewater
treatment and conveyance capacity should be in the forefront of the City’s government decisions,
especially when communicating with future developers. Property and funding for the expansion of these
treatment and conveyance facilities should be sought, especially when developers are employed within
the Facility Planning Area (FPA) shown on Figure 1, taken from the Lockport Wastewater Service Area
Plan. All other projects are necessary as a result of new or anticipated permit and regulatory
requirements.
Table 1 shows a summary of the projects by category. Following the table, each project is discussed in
more detail to provide additional background and justify the need.

SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM AND PROJECTED FULL BUILD-OUT CONDITIONS
CITY OF LOCKPORT
WILL COUNTY, ILLINOIS
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROJECTS
In the short-term, generally 2016 and 2017, regulatory requirements are the impetus behind the City’s
wastewater treatment needs. In the longer-term, toward the end of 2017 and beyond, the City’s
wastewater needs become more dependent on circumstances surrounding its conveyance system and
development growth. As the City continues to grow, modifications to the conveyance system and
expansion of treatment capacity at the City’s WWTPs will become the focus. In this section, we present
the City’s anticipated wastewater treatment needs. It will be apparent that these treatment needs and the
City’s conveyance system needs must be considered concurrently.
A.
Pretreatment Program Administration - 2016 thru 2020
Strand completed preparation of the new pretreatment program, which is pending final United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval before being issued for public notice and officially
adopted by the City. This is expected to be complete by February 2016. Upon adoption by the City, the
program must be administered. Task Order No. 15-11 has been signed by the City and Strand will assist
with administration of the program in 2016. The program must be continuously administered and Strand’s
services can be continued each year or City staff can take this over after becoming familiar with
requirements over the course of 2016.
B.
Division Street WWTP NPDES Permit Renewal - 2016
The current NPDES permit for the Division Street WWTP expires August 31, 2016. The permit renewal
application is required to be submitted to the Illinois EPA (IEPA) before this expiration date
(March 1, 2016). Therefore, Task Order No. 15-19 was executed and work will begin in January 2016.
C.
Bonnie Brae/Division Street P-Removal Feasibility Study and P-Discharge Optimization Plan–
2016/2017
The study and plan are two separate documents required by Special Conditions 16 and 17 in the recently
reissued Bonnie Brae NPDES permit. These special conditions are now being included in most reissued
NPDES permits in response to the recently finalized Illinois Statewide Nutrient Reduction Strategy, which
recommended that IEPA evaluate statewide costs to reduce effluent phosphorus to various levels and to
optimize phosphorus removal at existing treatment plants. The plan and study must be submitted to IEPA
by October 1, 2017, to satisfy the reissued Bonnie Brae NPDES permit.
The reissued Division Street WWTP NPDES permit is expected in Fall 2016 and will contain the same
permit requirements. To be cost-effective, we will prepare one single P-Removal Feasibility Study and
one single P-Discharge Optimization Plan to address both treatment plants. Similar to many other similar
plans and studies we have recently prepared, we anticipate no projects will result from this effort and the
end result will be something similar to that shown in Figure 2. Task Order No. 15-18 was executed and
work will begin in February 2016. The study and plan will be completed and submitted to IEPA in Fall 2016
after receipt of the reissued Division Street WWTP NPDES permit.

D.
WWTP Modifications/Expansion–Planning/Design/Construction–2017 thru 2020
On June 17, 2015, Strand submitted for City review the Lockport Wastewater Service Area Plan that
evaluated the hydraulic capacity of the Bonnie Brae and Division Street WWTPs. The purpose of this
plan was to determine whether the plants have sufficient capacity to handle existing and future flows.
Figure 1 shows the existing sanitary sewer service areas for each of the WWTPs. It was determined that
both plants can handle existing flows, but there is concern with the Division Street WWTP. The Division
Street WWTP is currently near 80 percent of its capacity, which is typically a trigger point to start planning
for expansion of treatment capacity. Of greater concern is that Division Street WWTP’s capacity will be
exceeded when obligated flows, those associated with previously approved but as yet undeveloped
lands, start contributing flows to the plant. In addition, the Bonnie Brae WWTP was never intended to be
permanent and it is unlikely the IEPA would allow expansion of the Bonnie Brae WWTP to accommodate
higher flows. Accordingly, more detailed and comprehensive facility planning is recommended for both
treatment plants and the associated conveyance system to identify the most cost-effective long-term
solution for accommodating all the City’s current and future obligated flows.
E.
The following provides a summary of the findings and recommendations from the Lockport
Wastewater Service Area Plan.
1.
Bonnie Brae Wastewater Treatment Plant
After calculating theoretical existing flows and calibrating the flows to agree with actual existing
flows, Bonnie Brae WWTP has sufficient capacity to treat its current and obligated flows. When
analyzing the future demand for the FPA, the future demand will surpass the plant capacity and
the plant will require expansion, as shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Summary of Flows for Bonnie Brae WWTP
While this analysis focused only on plant capacity, the conveyance system infrastructure (sanitary
sewers, interceptors, and sanitary pumping stations) serving Bonnie Brae needs to be evaluated
to take into account limitations in the collection and conveyance system that would need to be
overcome to serve an obligated flow or future design flow.
It is recommended that the City continually monitor the flow capacity at the facility and, when new
obligated flows are established, those flows are factored into the current plant capacity, which will
enable the City to understand when additional capacity would need to be pursued. Once obligated
flows have a guaranteed date and total capacity exceeds 80 percent of the design capacity,
planning for additional capacity is recommended.
2.
Division Street Wastewater Treatment Plant
After calculating theoretical existing flows and calibrating the flows to agree with actual existing
flows, the Division Street WWTP has sufficient capacity to treat its existing flows. However, the
addition of only a few obligated or new developments will cause the WWTP to exceed 80 percent
capacity and will require a Facility Plan to address future expansion. It also must be noted that
the City currently has obligated growth that will contribute flows that will bring the WWTP to
108 percent capacity and would be higher than the restricted status threshold.
With all obligated flows considered, the Division Street WWTP would be over capacity, so
proceeding now with planning for increased capacity will prevent the City from being placed on
Restricted Status and rejection of additional sewer permit applications by the IEPA. The City
needs to consider developing a facility plan to expand the plant to meet obligated flows and have
capacity for future development. While the IEPA rated capacity is 54 percent, the average flows
are closer to 80 percent of the plant’s capacity, which indicates flows are trending higher.
Developing a facility plan in the short term as the flows continue to increase will provide a timeline
for construction of additional capacity at the plant to ensure that remaining obligated flows or
potential future developments have treatment capacity at the plant. See Table 3 for a summary
of flows for the Division Street WWTP.

The conveyance infrastructure serving Division Street also needs to be evaluated to take into
account limitations in the collection and conveyance system that would need to be overcome to
serve obligated or future flows.
It is recommended that the City continually monitor the plant’s flow and also monitor obligated
flow when it is established.
As noted at the beginning of this section, this is where the City’s wastewater treatment and wastewater
conveyance systems become increasingly dependent on each other The following section describes the
need to develop a Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System Development Plan now. The need for wastewater
treatment modifications and/or expansion will hinge on the results and recommendations of that plan. If
wastewater treatment modifications and/or expansions are deemed necessary, facility planning will be
required before proceeding with design and construction.
E.
Lower Des Plaines River Workgroup Participation–2016 thru 2020
The Illinois Pollution Control Board adopted a new statewide chloride water quality standard on
July 1, 2015. This new chloride standard is first to be implemented for the Chicago Area Waterway
System, which includes the Lower Des Plaines River that goes past the City as shown in Figure 3. As a
result, stakeholders formed the Lower Des Plaines River Workgroup to share and implement best
management practices, perform sampling, gather data, and prepare for a variance petition to avoid the
need for removal of chlorides from WWTP effluent. Strand will continue to participate in this new
workgroup and provide guidance and recommendations to the City on actions and measures to be taken.
A draft task order will be provided separately for your review. Tasks that currently need to be performed
include identifying/reducing sources of chlorides and performing periodic chloride sampling where the
City limits meet the Des Plaines River (upstream and downstream).

WASTEWATER CONVEYANCE PROJECTS
The City’s conveyance system needs are driven by both regulatory requirements and potential growth
impacts. The City’s NPDES permits have placed requirements on the City to develop long-term operation
and maintenance planning. At the same time, potential growth and conditions at the City’s wastewater
treatment plants are putting pressure on the City to further identify the capacity of their conveyance
system and to strategize improvements or modification of the conveyance system to most effectively and
efficiently get the most out of the City’s overall wastewater system.
In this section we present the City’s anticipated wastewater conveyance needs, which as noted in the
prior section are entwined with the City’s wastewater treatment needs and must be considered
concurrently.
A.
Bonnie Brae/Division Street CMOM Plan–2016/2017
The City is required to develop a CMOM plan under Special
Condition 15 in the City’s recently reissued Bonnie Brae
NPDES permit. This special condition is now being
included in all reissued NPDES permits in response to
United States EPA requirements. The CMOM plan must be
submitted to the IEPA by October 1, 2017. The reissued
Division Street WWTP NPDES permit is expected in Fall
2016 and will also include CMOM requirements. It is
recommended that one single CMOM plan be prepared to
address the City’s conveyance system to both treatment
plants. Therefore, development of the CMOM plan should
begin now to meet the October 1, 2017, deadline, and it will
be applicable to the Division Street WWTP NPDES permit
also.
In summary, the first step will be to perform an assessment
of the City’s current measures, activities, and CMOM
program elements, compile available information into a
draft CMOM plan, and provide a summary report of
Figure 4 Typical Sewer Hydrograph
recommendations and items that must be prepared to meet
the requirements of Special Condition 15. The next step will
build on the first step and this entails assisting the City with preparation of remaining items, compiling all
information into a final CMOM plan, and submitting the CMOM plan to IEPA. The intent of the CMOM
plan is to prevent inflow and infiltration from entering the conveyance system and subsequently reserve
WWTP capacity for treatment of only wastewater, as shown in Figure 4.
B.
Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System Development Plan–2016
As discussed above, in June 2015, Strand submitted to the City the Lockport Wastewater Service Area
Plan that evaluated the flow capacity of the Bonnie Brae and Division Street WWTPs for existing and
future flows. The Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System Development Plan will use information from the
7
Lockport Wastewater Service Area Plan to determine the capacity of the City’s existing wastewater
conveyance systems tributary to each treatment plant and provide recommendations and alternatives for
cost-effectively accommodating development while providing flexibility for the actual timing of
developments. In this study we will identify whether there are potential modifications to the conveyance
system that would allow the City to continue use of its existing treatment plants, namely the Division
Street WWTP, without the need for expansion or modifications.
It is also intended for the Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System Development Plan to provide City staff
with a key planning and communication tool for predicting potential impacts of annexations and
development (see Figure 5), identifying improvements to be associated with requested developments,
and watching trigger points at which wastewater treatment expansion planning and/or conveyance
system upgrade design need to be pursued.
Figure 5 Planning and Communication Tool
C.
Sanitary Sewer Conveyance Modifications Design/Construction–2017 through 2020
Completion of the Sanitary Sewer Conveyance System Development Plan will provide a road map for
conveyance system modification design and construction as the City continues to grow and change. This
tool will support capital improvement planning from 2017 and beyond.

STORMWATER PROJECTS
A.
Stormwater Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) NPDES Assistance–2016 thru 2020
In March 2015, Strand completed and filed with the IEPA an updated Notice of Intent to comply with the
IEPA’s MS4 NPDES permit, which deals with stormwater quality issues. Strand also completed a
Stormwater Management Plan detailing the activities to be performed by the City to comply with the
NPDES permit. Strand is currently under a Task Order to develop an elicit discharge detection and
elimination program and to file an annual report with the IEPA in early 2016. Into 2016 and through 2019
when the permit expires, there will be annual activities the City will need to perform to maintain
compliance with its permit. Some of those activities can be performed by City staff and others may require
assistance from an engineering consultant. With the annual report filed in 2016, Strand will provide the
City with an update of necessary activities for 2016/2017 for consideration.
CLOSING
In closing, the City is emerging from the recession with exciting growth opportunities. Development
interest is very high and the wastewater treatment and conveyance systems will need to grow with that
development as regulatory and environmental issues are encountered. The current systems will not meet
the current obligated flows as is; they need to be maintained and expanded. The next five years will
require some planning to make sure the choices made by the City regarding the wastewater treatment
and conveyance systems are thoroughly reviewed. It is recommended to include continued planning and
investigation for the future (beyond five years) to make sure as much of the infrastructure installed in the
short-term is sustainable for the long-term options.

Re:
Near-Term Water System Improvements
Dear Mr. Benson:
Enclosed are two copies of the final Near-Term Water System Improvements report. This provides a
brief plan of the capital improvement needs for the water system based on recent water supply, treatment,
and storage assessments. Water distribution system improvements discussed in this report are limited to
major transmission main or connection water mains necessary to improve system performance or provide
for emergency supply.
Because of the more stringent environmental requirements on the City’s current supply, the recent
findings of significant dewatering of the deep sandstone aquifer, the changing attitude on the availability
of Lake Michigan water supply, and the increased interest in development along the Interstate 355
corridor, an update to the Infrastructure Expansion Planning portion of the 2010 Water System Master
Plan is recommended. This will help the City’s Community and Economic Development Department
better respond to interested developers and support their requests for property or investment in
infrastructure needs for the City’s growth. This will also help confirm and support the near-term water
system needs outlined in this document. As requested, a task order for this effort is being prepared for
your consideration.
Please call with questions.

Near-Term Water System Improvement
This report provides a summary and brief discussions of the water system improvement projects
recommended to be implemented over the next five years. The projects are separated into five
categories; water supply, treatment, storage, distribution, and planning studies. Recommended years of
implementation for the various steps in each project are also discussed.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Lockport (City) initiated extensive studies of its water system from about 2008 through 2011.
Several differing plans for water supply, treatment, storage, and distribution were developed and
considered. A few portions of the Water System Master Plan, prepared by Crawford Murphy and Tilly,
Inc. in 2010 were implemented, but only regarding distribution system improvements. A few portions of
the Water Alternative Analysis prepared by Robinson Engineering were implemented, mainly as they
related to the water supply plan. During the slowdown in the economy, the City was able to step back
from those recommendations. Fewer water main replacement projects were implemented, three wells
were abandoned, and no new supply was pursued.
As we come out of the recession, the growth trends are different than those predicted in 2010. The types
of development have changed in some areas. The City has fallen behind where it needs to be with water
supply. This is mainly due to the loss of three supply wells, the normal decline in the remaining well
performance, and the amount of time it takes to build a new well with current regulations. Therefore, the
top priority projects are focused on increasing well supply in the coming years, maintaining the well supply
that the City already has, and creating emergency supply connections as backup.
High iron levels in the water supply are a nuisance to residents, and the City has been adding iron removal
facilities as quickly as money will allow to combat the naturally occurring contaminant. The City received
approval to use Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan money
for construction of three iron removal facilities; Well 14 (formerly Well 9), Well 10, and Well 11. Well 14
is expected to have the highest levels of the three, so it will be a priority. Well 10 or 11 will follow,
whichever has the highest trending levels when the City is comfortable in its ability to manage the debt.
Although there is an approval from IEPA to borrow for the third plant, it has always been understood that
this will exceed the comfort level of borrowing for the City and will need to be pushed out beyond the next
five years.
All previous reports indicated that additional storage is needed. The volume of storage needed and the
best locations for that storage are inconsistent between previous studies. As the City reanalyzes its
infrastructure growth and implementation plans, primarily to better prepare for incoming developments,
storage needs should be briefly reviewed and incorporated into the planning. It is likely that additional
storage will be necessary and it is included in the near-term planning. However, the recent emergency
water supply interconnect study recommended that ground-level storage be included with those
improvements. If this project is implemented, it may satisfy any deficiencies, but this would need to be
reviewed and monitored as well.
The water distribution system will likely have three distinct types of improvements over the near term.
These include aged water main replacement and upsizing, water main extensions to serve the new
developments taking place, and water distribution system reinforcement projects.

The aged water main replacement projects have been previously analyzed, and the City has a plan to
address the highest priority mains each year. The water system growth required to meet new
development would be understood by performing an infrastructure growth and implementation analysis.
Proposals for this study are under review by the City. The costs for these main extensions and distribution
system growth are primarily covered by the developments that need the extensions.
The water system reinforcement projects will be discussed in this report. The primary reinforcement that
was recommended in past studies is a 12- or 16-inch water main connecting the two “high pressure zone”
systems. This would run in the I-355 or Gougar Road corridor area from 151st to 163rd Streets. The
project should also include new or relocated pressure reducing valves near Prime Industrial Park at I-355
to move the high pressure zone boundary to the west in that area.
While it is understood that several studies have taken place in the past ten years, changes in regulations,
geophysical conditions, and development trends will require additional study in the near-term. Several
regional water supply groups have formed over the years, and it is strongly encouraged that Lockport
remain present in those meetings to voice opinions that favor the City’s long-term water needs. Because
the City, the Village of Romeoville, and the City of Crest Hill share very similar hurdles as their supply
needs increase, it is recommended that the City work with the others to consider other regional solutions.
The City should also work toward obtaining a lake water allocation that can meet all its projected water
demands should that become a viable option in the future. Finally, the many smaller studies that have
recently taken place serve to update the 2010 Master Planning document. The City should consider
reviewing two remaining important water system issues, the high water loss and the cost to obtain
Lake Michigan water supply. All these smaller updates should be compiled into an updated Water System
Master Plan. Again, because of the changes affecting the water system over the past six to ten years, an
updated Master Planning document may be due.
Table 1 shows a summary of the projects by category. Following the table, each project is discussed in
more detail to provide additional background and justify the need.

WATER SUPPLY PROJECTS
As mentioned previously, the City was able to meet water demands through the recession even with the
abandonment of three troublesome wells and the reduction in capacity from the remaining six shallow
bedrock wells. As growth resumes, there is the need to grow the water supply.
In 2010, two studies resulted in different approaches to the water system growth. One called for creation
of a centralized plant using microfiltration, which is often used in surface water treatment, and other
processes to treat for coliform contamination issues in two of the City’s wells. This plan also called for
the addition of two to three high-capacity shallow wells in the downtown zone and one high capacity
shallow well in the middle pressure zone. It also called for the modification of one of the high pressure
zone wells to increase its capacity.
The other plan called for abandonment of the two coliform-contaminated wells and the modification of
the same high zone well to increase its capacity. This study stated that the resulting capacity after these
changes, a net reduction in supply capacity, would meet the City’s demands for the coming years. It
stated that as growth takes place in the future new wells will need to be constructed to handle that growth.
The studies recommended and provided results from a well siting study to assist the City in requesting
land parcels and financial assistance from new developers as the area develops.
The latter plan was followed. The contaminated wells were abandoned and no new wells or additional
supply were implemented. During a study performed by Strand Associates, Inc.® in March 2015, it was
discovered that the firm capacity of the resulting system would not meet the maximum day demands.
Tables 1 and 2 below taken from that report show the cause for concern.
Since then, one of the wells, Well 9, collapsed and became permanently unusable. Well 11 has also
experienced extended and frequent issues. To further compound the issue, it has been discovered that
the protection of environmentally sensitive areas in the City adds significant review time and additional
required approvals to the well construction process.
A refined well siting and construction effort took place to gain approvals from the environmental protection
agencies for the replacement of Well 9 and the eventual construction of four new shallow wells. It appears
evident that the locations sited by previous reports will likely not gain agency approval without lengthy
4
study, if ever. The figure on the following page was created and agency approval is currently being sought
for the construction of new wells in the areas shown. Agency approval to replace Well 9 on the same site
with new Well 14 was also sought and approval was granted. The future wells are still under review but
should continue to be pursued and be implemented as quickly as possible.
Finally, over the next five years, it will be important to maintain the City’s current well supply through
simultaneous maintenance efforts and addition of new wells. The following provides details of each of
the recommended well construction and maintenance projects over the next five years.
A.
Well 14 Project–2015/2016
Following the collapse of Well 9, the construction of Well 14 to replace Well 9 became an urgent project
for the City. Well 14 is designed to be on the same site and of the same capacity as Well 9. This project
includes not only drilling the Well 14 hole but also well house and well pump and motor modifications.
Most of the construction phase will take place in 2016.
Figure 1 shows the location of the new well near Oak Prairie School. The effort to get approval for this
well construction from regulatory agencies was considered a top priority, or Phase 1 of three approval
phases.
B.
Well Siting for Shallow Wells 15 and 16–2015/2016
As discussed above, Wells 15 and 16 are considered immediate needs to restore the City’s reduced
water supply capacity and meet historic maximum day demands. The City is currently working to achieve
support from agencies including Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Illinois Nature
Preserves Commission (INPC), and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to pursue shallow
wells on proposed well sites that do not require further agency review.
Figure 1 shows the possible locations of these future wells. The effort to get approval of these two future
well construction projects from regulatory agencies was considered a high priority, or Phase 2 of three
approval phases.
C.
Well 15 Well Drilling and Well House Projects–2016/2017
Well 15 is necessary for the City’s water supply capacity to meet historic maximum day demands.
Construction of this shallow well should be pursued immediately following agency approval. The water
quality of this well is anticipated to be consistent with existing shallow wells such that there will be
aesthetically noticeable levels of iron, but regulations will not require treatment for the iron levels. The
design phase for this project is anticipated to occur in 2016 with the construction phase in 2017.
D.
Well 16 Well Drilling and Well House Projects–2018/2019
Well 16 is necessary for the City’s water supply capacity to meet historic maximum day demands. The
design of this shallow well should be pursued immediately following agency approval. For City funding
purposes, Well 16 is anticipated to follow the completion of the Well 15 project. The water quality of this
well is anticipated to be consistent with existing shallow wells such that there will be aesthetically
5
noticeable levels of iron, but regulations will not require treatment for the iron levels. The design phase
for this project is anticipated to occur in 2018 with the construction phase following in 2019.
E.
Well Siting for Shallow Wells 17 and 18–2016/2017
Wells 17 and 18 are considered necessary for the City to meet projected 2025 demands. As agencies
such as IDNR, INPC, and the USFWS have notified the City that pursuit of shallow wells on several
proposed well sites will require further agency review, this process should begin as soon as possible to
achieve agency support in time for well siting and construction to be achieved to meet demands.
Figure 1 shows the possible locations of these future wells. The effort to get approval of these two future
well construction projects from regulatory agencies was considered a lower priority than the initial three
new wells, or Phase 3 of three approval phases.
The need for future wells should be in the forefront of the City’s government decisions, especially when
speaking with future developers. Property and/or funding for the construction of these wells should be
sought, specifically when developers are in the areas shown on the attached Figure 1.
WATER TREATMENT PROJECTS
A.
Well 14 Iron Removal Plant Project–2016/2017
Prior to the collapse of Well 9, an iron removal plant was designed for Well 9, but was not yet awarded
for construction. With Well 14 replacing Well 9, it is anticipated that the water quality of Well 14 will require
an equivalent iron removal plant. Therefore, a design phase for this project will address changes
necessary to accommodate any differences in water quality or modifications necessary to accommodate
the modified well and well house, completion of county permitting, and rebidding of the project. The
construction phase of this project will be split between 2016 and 2017.
Figure 2 shows a proposed site layout of the future iron removal facility.
B.
Iron Removal Plant for Well 10 or 11–2018/2019
In 2014, the City received IEPA project planning approval to construct three iron removal plants, one
each for Wells 9, 10, and 11, using SRF program financing. This approval is valid through 2019. The City
is pursuing the Well 14 (formerly Well 9) iron removal plant in the Well 14 projects described above. The
City stated that it does not have funding to support iron removal plants for both Wells 10 and 11, but that
it intends to pursue an iron removal plant for one of the two wells. This project is anticipated to be pursued
at the well with higher historic or trending iron concentrations. The design phase for this project is
anticipated to occur in 2018 with the construction phase following in 2019.

WATER STORAGE PROJECTS
A.
Inspect 151st and Farrell Road Storage Tanks–2016
Steel water storage tanks are typically inspected at least every five years. These inspections are intended
to observe how well the coating system is holding up and to anticipate how much longer the interior and
exterior coating systems can be left without spot repair and overcoating or full removal and replacement.
The goal is to catch issues early enough to be able to repair the system rather than replace it at a much
higher cost.
These inspections also serve to observe the condition of the many appurtenances such as vents, valves,
lighting, and piping of the tank, as well as the foundation. All recommended repairs would be summarized
in an inspection report and opinions of probable rehabilitation costs would be provided.
An inspection of both tanks is recommended in 2016. Both tank locations are shown on Figure 3.
B.
Tank Repainting
Although the tank inspections that are recommended for 2016 would provide more insight on the timing
of any repainting or rehabilitation, it is envisioned that one of the tanks will require rehabilitation within
the next five years. This project has been tentatively scheduled for 2018.
C.
New Water Storage Tank
Both previous studies recommended additional storage. A review of the current and future projected
demands and demands per zone is due to confirm whether additional storage is still required, which is
likely, and in which pressure zone the storage would provide the most benefit. Following this, some
modeling simulations will help reveal areas where the storage appears optimal within the zones. This will
help with developer discussions.
It is anticipated that this storage will need to be added within the next five years.
WATER DISTRIBUTION REINFORCEMENT PROJECTS
A.
Upper Pressure Zone Interconnection Main–2016/2017
The City currently has two separated, upper pressure zones in its water distribution system. These are
areas of higher elevation, mainly on the north and east sides of the City, with a correspondingly higher
water pressure gradient than the remainder of the City. Figure 3 shows that the area north of 159th Street
is not connected with the area to the south in this zone. Because the upper pressure zone areas south
of 159th Street do not have any storage and only two wells supplying it, there are very low fire flows
available and, if one well were to be out of service because of mechanical issues or maintenance, it could
result in major concerns.
In conjunction with proposed development in the City, this project includes the installation of water main
along either the I-355 corridor, Gougar Road corridor, or some other advantageous route to connect the
7
two upper zones into a single zone. Also included in this project are pressure reducing valves necessary
to expand the upper zone to include the proposed development. The result of this project will be improved
fire flows and stored water supply for the southern portions of the upper pressure zone.
This project should get started as soon as possible because of the number of developments underway
or under consideration for this portion of the City. IEPA SRF Loans could be used as a funding
mechanism for the project. It is recommended that a routing study and project planning document be
prepared in early 2016, followed by design and bidding in late 2016. Construction would take place in
2017.
Figure 4 shows where the proposed main could connect to the existing 16-inch water main along
151st Street, then run south to connect with the incoming Panatonni development’s 16-inch water main
at 163rd Street and Gougar Road.
Also as part of this project, it is recommended that the upper pressure zone south of 163rd be shifted to
the west to incorporate Prime Industrial Park. This increases pressures and fire flow availability to this
area after the interconnecting main is installed.
B.
Other Water Main Projects for System Maintenance, Renewal, and Expansion
Other water main projects will certainly take place in the near term. The City will undertake these projects
for maintenance or replacement, like the State Street corridor south of Daggett Avenue and between 8th
and 10th Streets. Developers will also undertake some of these projects where they are needed for
expansion of the system to serve the developments. These are not staged as part of this planning
document. However, it is recommended that a brief analysis be performed to determine recommended
sizing of main replacements and extensions. This analysis is part of the water infrastructure growth
planning currently under City review.

WATER SYSTEM PLANNING STUDIES AND SERVICES
A.
Public Water Commission Efforts–Ongoing
This effort will support the City in
maintaining its position on the
commission for a Kankakee River
water
supply
by
continuing
communication
with
the
Commission. The Commission
currently includes the municipalities
of Lockport, Joliet, Romeoville, New
Lenox,
and
Rockdale.
The
Commission was formed in the
1970s and it currently owns property
along the Kankakee River just south
of Wilmington. The property was
intended to house a water treatment
plant and is approximately 80 acres
in size.
The Commission meets about every
six months at the most to discuss
technical issues and managerial
housekeeping issues. However, as
shown in Figure 5, the recent
findings that Joliet’s main source of
supply,
the deep sandstone
aquifers, are rapidly declining, will
certainly stimulate a renewed
interest in the alternative source. It
is extremely important that the City
be represented. The City’s interests
must be protected and any forward
movement or expenditures should
be reviewed to make sure they are
in the best interest of the City.

Levels in the Sandstone Aquifers of Northern
Illinois and Southern Wisconsin: Impacts on
Available Water Supply. Contract Report 2015-02)
Regional Water Supply Study Efforts–2016 and Ongoing
The Public Water Commission includes the City of Joliet that has, by far, the highest municipal water
demands in the area. Being in the same regional water supply group with Joliet may result in many
economies of scale for future improvements and rates. However, it may also result in hardship and tough
decisions that will benefit Joliet more than the City. Furthermore, Joliet’s water supply issues are different
than the City’s. The City’s shallow bedrock aquifer issues are similar to those that Romeoville and Crest
Hill are experiencing.
10
This effort will support the City in continuing to explore long-term water supply options viable for the
region. Regionalization may help create more sustainable and economically efficient solutions to meet
growing water supply needs. The goal is to collaborate with the Village of Romeoville and City of Crest
Hill, experiencing similar water supply options and concerns, technically speaking, and explore options
that are mutually beneficial and economical to those communities.
C.
Lake Water Allocation Maintenance–2016 and Ongoing
The City still has a Lake Water Allocation on record for receipt of up to 3.54 million gallons per day (mgd)
of Lake Michigan water supply. This is only slightly higher than its average day demand and is not enough
to meet current maximum day demands. Several years ago, the City offered to release the allocation.
The IDNR has not yet acted on that offer. Because of new water issues, that offer has been rescinded
and the City is currently awaiting a response on whether or not the IDNR accepted the request to rescind
the offer.
At recent meetings discussing the groundwater issues in western Will County, IDNR announced that it is
open to granting or increasing lake water allocations. Even for communities with excessive water loss,
which IDNR regulates to anything over 10 percent of total pumpage, it is willing to give or increase
allocations if provided with a plan to reduce water loss to less than 10 percent. Lockport has water loss
in excess of 10 percent.
It is recommended that the City move forward swiftly to secure a larger lake water allocation that meets
the projected future demands to keep this source as an option. There is a possible supply location near
151st and Bell Road from Illinois American Water’s Homer Glen supply system. There is also a supply
line down I-55 through Romeoville to Shorewood in planning, which could serve as a connection point
for a looping main through the City in the Illinois American Water system in the area. It is in close proximity
to the City’s system and has potential as a future water supply source.
D.
Water Loss Analysis and Lake Michigan Water Cost and Feasibility Analysis
As previously discussed, a study of correcting water loss would need to be completed and incorporated
into any detailed analysis of switching to lake water. Based on rough calculations and previous studies
from other entities, the City has water loss nearing 30 percent. Much of this may be able to be explained
with unmetered connections and extensive flushing operations to keep the system healthy and the water
as fresh as possible. But much of it is likely water loss through leaking mains and aged, inaccurate
meters. An analysis to review data and try to quantify the amount of water loss in each of the possible
areas of loss would help formulate a plan to reduce it. Whether on your own groundwater supply or a
regional supply situation, the loss of water is the loss of a resource and revenue that should be avoided
if possible. A water loss analysis would help develop a plan to implement corrective measures and
associate a probable cost for the effort.
The plan to reduce water loss should also be included with long-term investigation of the cost and
feasibility to switch to a lake water supply. Lake water is close and there is still a possibility to obtain a
suitable allocation from the IDNR. It is recommended that the City investigate the costs to connect to a
lake water supplier and make improvements to the City’s system to store and distribute the water
effectively and the probable cost of purchasing lake water for the long term compared with other source
11
options. This would be better to take place after the possibility of securing a larger lake water allocation
becomes more promising.
E.
Water System Master Plan Update
With the other recent studies performed for population and water demand projections, water supply
analyses required by environmental and regulatory issues, development and system growth planning,
and water main replacement planning, coupled with water loss and Lake Michigan water cost and
feasibility analysis, the City will have basically updated all sections of the 2010 Water System Master
Plan. This update is probably needed as the past six years did not follow the expectations of the report.
It is recommended that the various reports be assembleinto a single document to serve as a road map
for approximately the next ten years. This is not suggested to be a major undertaking, but more of a
housekeeping matter.
CLOSING
In closing, the City is emerging from the recession with exciting growth opportunities. Development
interest is very high and the water system will need to grow with that development as it encounters
regulatory and environmental issues. The current system will not meet the coming demands as is. It
needs to be maintained and expanded. The next five years will require some study to make sure the
choices made by the City regarding the water system are thoroughly reviewed. It will require some
additional supply, storage, and distribution facilities. It is also recommended to include continued planning
and investigation for the future, beyond five years, to make sure as much of the infrastructure installed in
the short term is sustainable for the long-term options.
