The Illinois EPA has a list of about 750 projects seeking some of the $180 million in federal stimulus money set aside for sewer works in the state. While no Illinois community can receive more than $10 million for such a project, the following are among those that could potentially qualify for a slice of the money:
Aurora — Nearly $6 million to separate storm and sewage water flow
Belleville — $4 million to separate storm and sewage water
Bensenville — $18 million to rehab collection system
Chicago — $37 million for sewer lining
Gilberts — $19 million to expand system
Joliet — $50 million for wet weather tunnel to deal with combined sewage overflows
Pekin — $35 million to expand a sewage treatment plant in two phases
Peoria — Nearly $35 million for combined sewer improvements
Springfield — $125 million for improvements to a wastewater treatment plant
Streator — Nearly $14 million for combined sewer separation
Urbana-Champaign — $42 million for sewage treatment plant upgrade
