Several public utilities construction projects throughout the City of Joliet are currently underway. One of the steps in water main construction is the installation of new water mains and structures. During this step, the contractor will dig a trench to install the new main, valves, and hydrants. Water mains are typically installed at depths of 5-6 feet. Trenches are backfilled as the pipe is laid.

Information about each project can be found by visiting www.Joliet.gov/construction-zone to stay up to date. If you have questions, please contact the Public Utilities Department at 815-724-4220.
