Overview

In addition to state and federal guidelines, the City of Elgin has specific engineering and construction standards and specifications that must be followed when constructing public improvements within the city limits. Adherence to these standards not only ensures the quality and consistency of public improvements within the city, but also ensures that they can be easily maintained by the Elgin Public Works Department once they are completed.
