The galvanized iron water lines, acceptable at that time, had never been updated and had reached the end of their life,usually less than 40 years. Over many years,zinc erodes from galvanized pipes. Corrosion builds up on the inside of pipes and creates the potential for lead accumulation, leading to low er w ater pressure and w ater quality issues.The past two years we have experienced numerous problems w ith w ater pressure, leaks in walls and floor and have had to use bottled w ater for drinking and cooking.A Kane County Riverboat grant allow ed us to replace the pipes w ith copper, how ever w e still must replace https://zoorng rants.corrVrapp.asp?rfpid=371&propid=25988&dtype=&f= 316 6/12/2014 AppID 25988 connections and fixtures,either damaged or at the end of their useful life.We have been able to"make do"w ith the addition of the 205 Fulton space, now w e regularly have events and activities scheduled in both locations and must finish the kitchen and washrooms by replacing pipes from the w alls to the fixtures,faucets,toilets and dividers in tw o w ashrooms on the main floor and the kitchen,and one w ashroom on the second floor and the lunch room.No renovation has been done in these areas in over 30 years.Also, because w e do see clients in all offices and employ staff w ith disabilities,w e need to bring our elevator up to code.We have had an inspection and need to complete several upgrades immediately.Senior Services,as w Rh most social service agencies w ith State of Illinois contracts,is suffering from cash flow from unpaid bills and cuts from state,federal and local sources at a time w hen the needs of our clients and the numbers of persons needing assistance are increasing.We have experienced and anticipate more costly plumbing repairs,further challenging our resources and ability to preserve our level of service to our clients.All of our clients are served at no charge regardless of ability to pay. This project w ill accomplish many goals, including; making this building safer,accessible and inviting and protect the integrity of this historical building, listed on the State of Illinois register of historical structures,a destination on architectural tours visiting our city.The inevitable repairs, upgrades and replacement w ill allow our linrted funds to be used to directly assist seniors,veterans,disabled of all ages;all presumed low and moderate income residents of Bgin. 13 The City of Bgin has identified eight strategic planning priorities to guide its vision to become THECITY INTHESUBURBS.
