13 Wilmette s Sewer System Overview of Wilmette s Sewer System Green vs. Gray? Stormwater Action Plan Regulatory Compliance Why Homes Flood What can homeowners do to protect their property? Homeowner Resources

14 Wilmette s Sewer System Separate Sewer Area Combined Sewer Area Ridge Road Topographical Divide

15 Wilmette s Sewer System Combined Sewer System East of Ridge Road 1872 Wilmette is incorporated. Sewers discharge into Lake Michigan 1914 Sheridan Road interceptor constructed. Sewers discharge into North Shore Channel 1921 Sewerage is treated at Howard Street treatment plant

16 Wilmette s Sewer System Combined Flows Dry weather MWRD Interceptor MWRD Treatment Deep Tunnel Overflow North Shore Channel Lake Michigan

17 Wilmette s Sewer System Separate Sewer System West of Ridge Road 1930 to 1950 Separate sewers constructed Building sanitary and storm laterals constructed side by side in same trench Sanitary system has two outfalls Harms Road Princeton Place

18 Wilmette s Sewer System Sanitary Outfall Locations Harms Road and Princeton Place Interceptors *

19 Wilmette s Sewer System North Branch Chicago River Stormwater Outfall

20 Green vs Gray Green VS Gray

21 Green vs Gray Rain Barrels Precipitation 1 inch Average Roof Area 40 ft x 50 ft 2000 ft 2 Rain Barrels 23 Barrels Per house

22 Green vs Gray Rain Barrels April 2013 storm event (25-year storm event) 5.5 inches or 125 barrels per house Roof drainage only

23 Sewer System: Past Total invested since 1990: Over $51 million Combined Sewer Area Relief sewers Street berms and inlet restrictors Separate Sewer Area Relief sewers Second stormwater outfall Backup generator at stormwater pump station Village Wide Maintenance Sewer Cleaning/ Televising Lining

24 Berms and inlet restrictors create street detention

25 Stormwater Action Plan 4 Components: 1. Excessive inflow & infiltration (I/I) 2. Sewer capacity / bottlenecks 3. Outflow Restrictions at Harms Road and Princeton Place 4. Manage Stormwater Public Sewer Line

26 Stormwater Action Plan Project Goal Status Hydraulic Study of the Sanitary System Pump Station with inline storage Determine location of bottlenecks and flow meter outlets and basins to determine I/I Improve outlet condition of the sanitary system Completed in The West Park Sanitary Storage Project is on schedule to break ground in October, Collection system improvements Eliminate bottlenecks that restrict flow during wet weather The Local Storage Projects are underway and scheduled to be completed November 30, 2014 MH / sewer lining and repairs Storm sewer improvements Reduce infiltration and improve structural integrity Reduce storm sewer surcharging and street ponding Annual program is on-going System hydraulic and hydrologic data collection complete. Alternatives analysis underway.

27 Drainage Basins Harms Basin Princeton Basin

28 Stormwater Action Plan West Park Sanitary Storage Project Three Project Goals: 1. Control backflow from MWRD 2. Build pump station 3. Build storage reservoir

29 Stormwater Action Plan West Park Sanitary Storage Project Project benefits over 1300 homes west of Romona Road $16.6 million Operational by fall of 2015

30 Stormwater Action Plan Local Storage Projects: Wilmette Avenue

34 Local Storage Project: Wilmette Avenue

35 Manhole Lining and Repairs

36 Stormwater Action Plan West Side Storm Sewer Study 1. Over 1500 structures surveyed 2. Flow monitoring 3. Resident Survey 4. Hydrologic and hydraulic model development 5. Project alternatives to be presented to the community this November

37 Sewer System: Looking Forward Kenilworth Gardens 1. Sanitary flow metering in Evaluation of MWRD outfall connection 3. Smoke Testing 4. Sewer & Manhole lining 5. Storm sewer hydraulic analysis 6. Communication with neighboring Villages and MWRD 7. MWRD flow monitoring

39 Stormwater Action Plan Kenilworth Gardens

40 Regulatory Compliance West of Ridge Road, the Village operates a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). In 1999, MS4 communities were required to optain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

41 Regulatory Compliance Annual reporting and monitoring of six minimum control measures: Public Education & Outreach Public Participation/Involvement Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Construction Site Runoff Pollution Prevention

42 Why Homes Flood

43 Why Homes Flood In order to solve the problem, we need to understand WHY homes flood. This is not a one-size-fits-all problem. Topography Sewer Surcharging Sump Pump Failure Seepage Window wells / basement doors / depressed driveways Lateral cracks / blockage

44 Why Homes Flood Storm Water Sources

45 What should homeowners do? Disconnect from storm sewer Less impervious area and less sod More rain gardens and bioswales Protect home with overhead sewer or flood control Check grading around foundation Install drain tile and sump pump

46 What can homeowners do? Protect home with overhead sewer or flood control

47 What can homeowners do? Check grading around foundation

48 What can homeowners do? Direct downspouts away from foundation

49 What can homeowners do? Install drain tile and sump pump

50 Most important thing every homeowner should do

51 Maintain your sewer lateral Clean Televise Line An estimated 50%-80% of groundwater infiltration is from private sewer laterals.
