The City of Berwyn Lead Water Service Replacement Project will require access to private property to install a new underground water service line.  The City and its Contractor (listed below) will require access to the inside of the building to connect the new water service line to the existing water meter location. 

The undersigned,                                                                                 (“Customer”) grants to The City of Berwyn (“City”) and to its approved Contractor/Agents an agreement to enter upon the Customer’s property  at                                                                                                               (address) Berwyn, IL (“Property”) for the purpose of connecting the Customers’ residence to the City water main at the front of the Property, at no cost to the Customer.  The term of the agreement shall be 12 months following the date set forth below or final City acceptance of the construction project.

For full-service replacement, the City and its approved Contractor will use trenchless methods to install a water service pipe from the water main to a new City curb stop installation, then from the curb stop installation to the water meter located inside the Customer’s Property.   The City will determine the location of the installation.  The pipe and any valves or boxes on the street side of the curb stop will be owned and maintained by the City.

The City will provide a warranty of the material and workmanship of the Customer water service line for 12 months following completion of the construction project.

Upon completion of the work necessary to establish the new connection, including disconnection from the old water main, installing the City water service connection, the City curb stop installation, and the Customer water service line, the City will restore the Customer’s outdoor Property as nearly as practicable to its former condition. The Contractor will minimize disturbance indoors at the Customer’s Property. The Contractor will restore piping and concrete inside the building, but the Customer will be responsible for restoring any decorative indoor Property such as drywall, tile, wood paneling, or carpet.

I understand that this is a voluntary agreement. I may opt out of at any point prior to the day of construction, and that I am not responsible for any damages or injuries that are caused by the construction project.  I also understand that the City or Contractor listed below will be responsible for the work performed, but I will be responsible for final decorative restoration. I will prepare a proper working environment for the Contractor inside my building, clear of clutter and other impediments. The City and the Contractor listed below are responsible for notifying me at least 24 hours prior to accessing the property.  Upon notice, the City and approved contactor have access to the property between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm for one pre-inspection and one water service installation. Water service installation will require shutting off the water supply to your property for up to 4 hours.
