Dear Mr. Kalayil:
This letter is in response to your inquiry dated March 13, 2018 concerning the proposed vacation.
The Department of Water Management- Water Section
Based on our records, there are no water facilities within the limits of the area proposed for vacation. Therefore, the Water Section has no objection to the proposed vacation.
All water services no longer in use must be permanently terminated as part of the proposed development by permit per DWM standards.
For questions regarding water facilities, please contact Andrew McFarland at (312) 742-7027.
The Department of Water Management - Sewer Section
Based on sewer records, there is a 12-inch public sewer on N. Troy Street from W. Rice Street to W. Grand Avenue that has upstream drain connection coming from the railroad ROW, which is outside and upstream of the limit of the proposed area to be vacated. Since the 12-inch sewer is serving area upstream of the area to be vacated, this 12-inch sewer must be retained and maintained. The Sewer Section will approve the proposed street vacation, provided the beneficiary must agree with the following conditions:

OUC File No. 2018-81468 June 29, 2018 Page 2 of2
There must be a reservation of the entire width and length of the vacated N. Troy Street ROW for the existing sewer main.
The Sewer Section has no objection to the vacation of the W. Rice Street ROW or the vacation of the two alley ROW's.
The Sewer Section requires a minimum of forty (40) feet of vertical clearance from ground level to provide access to construction machinery that would be necessary in the event of a break or if maintenance or relocation were required in the future.
The City of Chicago Department of Water Management must have continuous 24-hour access to the area where the reservation is required.
All proposed plans for improvements must be submitted to and approved by the Department of Water Management - Sewer Section prior to construction.
The beneficiary of the vacated ROW where a reservation is required must be responsible for the repair, renewal or replacement of the physical improvements on the vacated area, which may be damaged in connection with the maintenance and repair, or replacement of the sewer facilities and appurtenances.
Any adjustments to the Sewer Section's facilities in the ROW where a reservation is required must be paid by the beneficiary.
For questions regarding sewer facilities, please contact Anupam Verma at (312) 742-7108.
