The third water main connection will start at Shales Parkway, run east along Sheldon, cross Safety-Kleen property, cross the E . J. & E Railroad and then proceed across undeveloped land to the Bartlett Pump Station on Lake Street . This water main will be constructed by the Village of Bartlett and dedicated to the City of Elgin upon completion.
