South suburban Dixmoor held a groundbreaking Monday morning for a new water line after years of water main breaks, boil orders and shutoffs.
Several elected officials were at 2021 W. 143rd St. about 9 a.m. to mark the beginning of the much-needed water main infrastructure project in Dixmoor.
The aging water pipes are slowly deteriorating underground and no longer strong enough to do their job. Officials have said the project aims to reduce water loss, enhance water pressure and bolster firefighting capabilities throughout the community."Something that's been long overdue for many, many years," Roberts said. "It's been very personal because it hurts to know that individuals can't get water when they need it."
"And we know firsthand that once infrastructure falters, other quality of life concerns are at risk," she said."Four of them were very serious. The people here with the water going off and on, they've been going through an awful lot," he said.
