Public Notice - Water Treatment Plant
4/16/2025
You may have noticed some construction activity around our City! We are currently making improvements to the water systerm. Improvements include construction of a new Water Treatment Plant south of town, construct 8" raw watermain and extend to new Water Plant, construct 6" and 8" watermain from new Water Treatment Plant to connect to the distribution system. Funding for this project is provided by a low-interest loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's Public Water Supply Loan Program (PWSLP). The PWSLP is funded by both state and federal resources. The $4,005,517.92 loan comes with a principal forgiveness grant of $2,843,917.72 that will reduce the loan and has an interest rate of 1.00% to be repaid over 30 years. Additionally, the City has received a USEPA STAG earmark grant in the amount of $1,965,040.00. For more information, please contact City Hall.
