Construction of water treatment improvements to address elevated manganese levels to Well House #4 were financed by the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The SRF program is administered by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and receives a portion of its money to fund these types of projects from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This project includes installation of four pressure filters, a new lift station with a single wet well and single dry well, and new sewer connection and force main to discharge filter backwash. Once complete, it will improve water quality for area residents and businesses in the Village of Port Byron by removing iron, manganese, and total dissolved solids. SRF programs operate in each state to provide communities with the resources necessary to build, maintain, and improve the infrastructure that protects one of our most valuable resources: water.
