Crack filling is a process of using compressed air to remove debris from pavement cracks, then filling and covering them with rubberized material. The purpose of crack filling is to prevent water from washing out pavement aggregates and accessing the road base.
Fog sealing is a process of seal coating an asphalt surface to protect it from the adverse effects of weather and slow the aging process.
Working hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Village would appreciate patience if work takes place in your area. Please contact Gabriel Zavala, Engineering Technician, with further questions at 815-467-6644.
Work is expected to take place starting the week of July 18-July 29. To view a map of 2022 crack fill and fog seal locations, please click here (link).
Within the next few weeks, Visu-Sewer and Performance Construction will be working on select manholes across town. These manholes are owned by the Village of Channahon. This work will be performed Monday through Friday, for approximately the next month. The work hours will be from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We are hoping to have this project completed by Labor Day.
This work will not hinder your ability to use the sewers. You will be able to utilize large volumes of water, such as doing laundry, dishwashing, flushing toilets and bathing. You may be affected by the excavation and/or restoration work involving the manhole covers. Access to certain roads and/or driveways may also affect you. This will be temporary, and we will try to keep this to a minimum.
This project will only involve the sanitary sewers manholes. While there is no odor to anything that we are doing, it is a good time to remind residents that you should pour a gallon of water into sinks, floor drains, or other drainage openings, especially those that are seldom used and whose traps may be empty of water. Doing this will prevent any potential odors from entering your building or home. If you do detect an odor, simply open your windows, and/or turn on a fan to help ventilate the building.

Spraypatching is a process of spraying an asphalt emulsion mixed with stone chips and additional chips on top. This method is used to spot treat excessive cracking and/or rutted portions of streets to prevent those areas from holding water and/or losing large pieces of surface pavement (potholes). It is a band-aid for severe surface distresses to prevent more severe problems until pavement resurfacing can take place.
Spraypatching is messy when first applied. Excess loose chips will be present and some chips may stick to tires. While initially messy, traffic will flatten and smooth out treated areas. Loose chips will be cleaned up during the Village's annual street sweeping projects.
Working hours will be weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Village would appreciate patience if spraypatching work takes place in your area. Please contact Gabriel Zavala, Engineering Technician, with further questions at 815-467-6644.
Work is expected to take place starting the week of June 27th and may last up to 2 weeks. Please see the list of roads expected to receive treatment here (link). The extent of roads actually treated will be subject to expiration of contracted materials quantities.
