The
City of LeRoy provides sewage treatment through a lagoon system. The
city currently has a combined waste and storm water system. The City
is currently working on a Illinois EPA mandated Long Term Control
Plan or LTCP. The purpose of the LTCP is to reduce Combined Sewer
Overflows (CSO) to four (4) or less per year. The City's LTCP
method is to complete the seperation of the sanitary and storm sewer
through out the City. By completing this process, the hydraulic
capacity of the City's sewage treatment plant will be increase.
This will prolong the life of the existing plant. As of October,
2007, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) and the
City are still working on the final LTCP. As enhancements
are made, the City has been separating the two systems. The 5-10 year
plan calls for upgrades to the existing plant to accommodate increased
flow and demands placed on the system by an ever increasing population.
The existing system has 1.2 million in excess capacity.
If
you have a home in Le Roy built prior to 1979, you (more than
likely) have a septic tank. City of Le Roy Ordinances make the
homeowner responsible for any and all problems associated with the
tank and the entire service line all the way to the main.
If you develop any problem with your sewer service, you can
contact the City to troubleshoot the problem. The City can
determine if the problem is related to City mains (City
responsibility) or your private service line (owner
responsibility).
To talk to a City representative, call (309) 275-3573 or
(309) 962-3031. A time can be scheduled to have a City
representative meet with you.
