NEW WATER SOURCE COMING SOON TO YOUR FAUCET
Fosterburg Water District (FWD) has been working in background since 2006 when intial discussions were held in securing an alternate water source.
For more information about FWD required distribution modifications click here.
FWD has joined resources with 6 other communities to secure an alternate viable water source for their communities. The new water source will be ground water out of the Illinois Alluvial Aquifer. This underground water source is located just South of the intersection of State route 16 and State Route 100 or North of Nutwood.
The group came together to form a “Not-For-Profit” Corporation with an official business title known as Illinois Alluvial Regional Water Company. The communities working together are: Village of Fieldon, Jersey County Water Company, Village of Dorchester, City of Bunker Hill, City of Carlinville, Central Macoupin County Water District and Fosterburg Water District.
