Description

The City of Wheaton is seeking proposals from qualified engineering firms to conduct a comprehensive Emergency Well and Storage Expansion Study. This study follows a 2026 Risk-Based Water System Analysis that identified a critical vulnerability in the City's reliance on the DuPage Water Commission without active countermeasures. The goal is to evaluate the relative risks and associated costs of alternative solutions involving wells and/or additional storage in the event of a total supplier loss. The project aims to provide the City with the ability to assess these alternatives for improved water supply resilience.
