Crews have water main replacements planned on North 14th Street, north of Clark Street, which will be followed by a resurfacing of the road.

Once the project is complete, an estimated 2,300 feet of water main will be replaced between Sycamore Road and Clark Street.

Simultaneously, the Kishwaukee Water Reclamation District is replacing sanitary sewer laterals to about 40 homes.

Once the underground work is completed around mid-June, the city said it will then begin resurfacing the roads.
