The Broadview-Westchester Joint Water Agency plays a crucial role in ensuring that residents in the area have access to safe drinking water sourced from Lake Michigan. The Agency connects to the City of Chicago water system, transmitting water through a 24” pipe to their 10th Avenue Pump Station, servicing not just households but also institutions like the Hines VA Hospital and Loyola University Medical Center.
Operated by dedicated personnel, the Agency manages three underground storage reservoirs with a total capacity of 1.5 million gallons. Equipped with a SCADA system, they monitor and control the water line, pump station, and customer systems, ensuring seamless operation and maintenance. The use of modern technology, such as iPads for remote monitoring, enables efficient adjustments to be made promptly.
