In 2022, Trotter and Associates completed a Wastewater Facility Plan Update for the Village of Algonquin. The plan outlined several capital improvement projects, including replacing the High Hill Park Interceptor Sewer.

The existing sewer is located within High Hill Park Nature Preserve, along the banks of Ratt Creek, and adjacent wetlands. The Village requested a supplemental sewer relocation study be completed to evaluate alternative routing of the interceptor.

Upon completion of the project, over a mile of 8-inch and 10-inch sewer will be replaced with 16-inch and 18-inch sewer. The new interceptor will be located along an adjacent street and the rear yards of residential properties, relocating the sewer from the banks of the creek, outside the nature preserve, and wetlands. This will provide the Village with improved access for future maintenance and an increased capacity for continued growth within the Village.
