Illinois American Water to Upgrade Godfrey Wastewater System; Project includes Restoration to La Vista Creek Watershed
伊利諾伊州美國水務公司將升級Godfrey廢水系統；項目包括修復La Vista Creek分水嶺
Next week, Illinois American Water will begin upgrades to wastewater infrastructure in Godfrey. Approximately $750,000 will be invested to replace two sections of a 24-inch wastewater effluent main. Work will also be completed to protect the existing wastewater force main which runs from the La Vista lift station to the Godfrey wastewater treatment plant.
下週，伊利諾伊州美國水務公司將開始升級戈弗雷的廢水基礎設施。約75萬美元將投資於更換兩段24英寸的廢水流出管。還將完成保護從La Vista升降站到Godfrey廢水處理廠的現有廢水處理總管的工作。
This infrastructure, located along La Vista Creek, will be reinforced, and protected from the natural shifting of the creek and potential creek bank erosion. According to Ric Cooper, senior design engineer, the project "will not only upgrade wastewater infrastructure but will also protect and enhance the La Vista Creek watershed."
這些位於拉維斯塔河沿岸的基礎設施將得到加固，並受到保護，使其免受小溪的自然移動和潛在的小溪岸邊侵蝕。據高級設計工程師裏克·庫珀稱，該項目“不僅將升級廢水基礎設施，還將保護和加強拉維斯塔溪分水嶺。”
Cooper said, "Whenever possible, Illinois American Water incorporates green infrastructure and practices into our operations and capital investments. The La Vista Creek project focuses on protecting the environment and enhancing the beauty of La Vista Creek, La Vista Trail and the Village of Godfrey, while supporting reliable service."
庫珀説：“只要有可能，伊利諾伊州美國水務公司就會將綠色基礎設施和實踐融入我們的運營和資本投資中。La Vista Creek項目專注於保護環境，提升La Vista Creek、La Vista Trail和Godfrey村的美景，同時支持可靠的服務。”
Illinois American Water is partnering on necessary easements for the project with the Village of Godfrey, Great Rivers Land Preservation Association and Oblate Real Estate Trust. The project includes:
伊利諾伊州美國水務公司正在與Godfrey村、大河土地保護協會和Oblate房地產信託基金合作，為該項目提供必要的地役權。該項目包括：
- Installation of natural limestone in areas along the creek bank which are prone to erosion.
- Installation of rip-rap, which is similar to large stones and rock, to further decrease erosion and create a streamlined transition to the natural limestone.
- Natural rock grade controls which dissipate energy and deflect stream flow back to the center of the channel to follow its natural course.
- Installation of Newbury riffles to help naturalize stream flow and prevent erosion of the La Vista Creek channel bed.
- Planting of native grasses and plants to restore the creek bank and beautify the area.
- 在河岸易受侵蝕的地區安裝天然石灰石。
- 安裝類似於大石頭和巖石的碎石，以進一步減少侵蝕，並創造一個流線型的向天然石灰石的過渡。
- 天然的巖石等級控制着能量的消散，並將水流轉向水道的中心，以遵循其自然路線。
- 安裝紐伯裏衝浪板，以幫助使溪流自然化，防止拉維斯塔溪河牀的侵蝕。
- 種植當地草本植物，以恢復小溪岸邊，美化該地區。
Illinois American Water has provided water service to the River Bend area for over 145 years and wastewater service to Godfrey since acquiring the system in November 2019. This project is part of the commitment made by the company to upgrade and protect local wastewater system infrastructure.
自2019年11月收購Godfrey系統以來，伊利諾伊州美國水務公司向河灣地區提供供水服務已超過145年，並向Godfrey提供廢水服務。該項目是該公司做出的升級和保護當地污水系統基礎設施的承諾的一部分。
Cooper said, "Illinois American Water develops 5-year and 10-year capital plans to upgrade infrastructure and decrease environmental impact. This approach supports reliable service as well as community development."
庫珀説：“伊利諾伊州美國水務公司制定了5年和10年的資本計劃，以升級基礎設施並減少對環境的影響。這種方法支持可靠的服務以及社區發展。”
The project requires a partial closure of La Vista Trail. The closure will start at the Route 100 access. A portion of the trail will be accessible from the La Vista Trail parking lot on Route 3.
該項目需要部分關閉La Vista Trail。封路措施將由100號幹線出入口開始。小徑的一部分將從3號公路上的La Vista小徑停車場進入。
Illinois American Water contracted with M3 Engineering, a certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) firm, to design the environmentally-friendly project. Plocher Construction will complete the construction. Weather permitting, the project should be completed this summer with native plantings in spring of 2022.
伊利諾伊州美國水務公司與M3工程公司簽訂了合同，M3工程公司是一家經過認證的少數族裔企業(MBE)公司，負責設計這個環境友好型項目。Plocher Construction將完成施工。如果天氣允許，該項目將於今年夏天完成，並在2022年春季進行原生種植。
