A portion of Willeke Avenue will have new water and sanitary sewer lines, the road will be improved, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks installed...but at a cost.

The work is estimated to cost about $1.1 million, and homeowners may be assessed for part of the cost, about $6,000 per lot.

The project will help with the street flooding during rains. The water and sewer lines are very old.

The area considered phase 1 extends from Ackerman to Orders, which is the east portion of Willeke. The remainder of the street will be phase 2, which is still in the planning stages.
