The county commissioners need to know by January 12. They are getting 80% aid to do this project. A motion was made by Alderman Schlieve to do this as long as it is in line with the $2,600 estimate.

They also asked about the water tower and what was happening with it in regard to when it would be usable again. They were assured that we have adequate resources for water with our old tower, the cistern and access to emergency rural water, etc. A letter will be sent out with the water bills explaining circumstances in hopes of alleviating some of these concerns.
