West Warren Boulevard Water Main - North Kedzie Avenue to North Sacramento Boulevard 

The Department of Water Management (DWM) is pleased to inform you of its intent to construct a new Water Main project in the 27th Ward. 1,871 feet of 8-inch water main with complete service connections will be installed within the limits of your ward at the subject location. Restoration will follow, including half-width street resurfacing along with repair of damaged parkway and sidewalk.

We anticipate construction will commence in mid-September 2016 with completion of the water main projected for December 2016 and restoration to follow. 

Every effort will be made to expedite project completion and minimize the inconvenience for 27th Ward constituents.

The Office of Emergency Management & Communications (OEMC) is partnering with the Department of Procurement Services (DPS), the Chicago Police Department (CPD), and the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) to host a networking event for potential vendors, called "Doing Business with the City of Chicago".
