Riverdale Board approves six inch water main on 138th Street
Village trustees met to address 138th street homeowners demand for a 6 inch water main between Michigan avenue and Illinois street. The contractor had found a 4 inch line there, so the board decided to extend to 10 inches of main by adding the new six inch line alongside the existing 4 inch. The action follows past street and parkway adjustments that reshaped the street to a more usable width.
