(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Dixmoor residents may be able to rest a little easier now, thanks to an infrastructure project that officials say will put an end to the village’s frequent water issues.
The Dixmoor Watermain Infrastructure Improvement Project began in 2023 after multiple man breaks in 2021 left the Chicago suburb without a reliable water supply.
The project included replacing the water mains and installing new, larger pipes to increase water pressure and system reliability. In total, the project cost over $3 million.
Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle said the project is “a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together.”
It was part of the Build Up Cook program, which addresses critical infrastructure needs in municipalities in Cook County.
