The Story

City Council voted 9-0 to award a $349,985 contract (up to $384,983.50 with contingency) to replace about 2,200 feet of water main on STH 42/Lincoln Avenue. The city says it plans to pay for it mostly with a state drinking-water loan. Next thing residents will care about is the construction schedule and how access and water shutoffs are handled.
