ALTON — Illinois American Water is installing more than six miles of sanitary sewer main in the Turner Tract, Shields Valley and Piasa Valley areas of Alton.
Ethan Steinacher, operations manager for the Central Division which includes the Alton service area, said that when Illinois American Water acquired the Alton Regional Wastewater system the company made a commitment to address requirements set forth by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to remedy combined sewer overflows.
“An investment of $50 million over a decade will be made to separate portions of the combined system. This work supports wastewater service reliability and source water protection,” Steinacher said.
