Supply chain woes again have hit the city of Peoria, this time in conjunction with one of the city’s biggest projects — a reclaimed water pipeline system that is planned to deliver water to the northern part of the city.
For the last couple years, Peoria has been building on its water reclamation system, and is in segment three of the project, which has gone over budget $2.1 million and will push it past the expected completion date due to the increasing cost of steel and delivery time.
Development and Engineering Director Adina Lund said that for this section of the project, material procurement has gone from 26 to 40 weeks.
