MONTGOMERY, IL — Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. has entered a $4.5 million master service agreement with the DuPage Water Commission (DWC) for construction engineering services for Section 2 of the WaterLink Pipeline Project, one of the largest water infrastructure initiatives in the Midwest. The WaterLink Pipeline is a $250 million project designed to expand potable water services in growing suburban communities in Illinois.
Under the new DWC contract, Bowman will provide construction engineering for approximately 6 miles of new 54-inch diameter water transmission main — part of a larger 30-mile pipeline extension. The installation involves complex construction adjacent to high-tension overhead electrical lines and will require crossing highways, rail lines, utility corridors, and streams using a variety of specialized construction methods.
“This project meaningfully expands our role in large-scale municipal infrastructure, adds multi-year revenue visibility, and helps drive margin-accretive growth,” said Gary Bowman, Founder and CEO of Bowman. “It also reflects the success of our long-term strategy to grow in high-value sectors with recurring revenue assignments that improve staff utilization and generate durable cash flow.”
WaterLink is a regional infrastructure initiative by the DWC to bring Lake Michigan drinking water to the Kendall County communities of Montgomery, Oswego, and Yorkville, Illinois. The project involves extending service from a connection point in Naperville, Illinois, to the newly established WaterLink region. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025 and continue through 2028.
