VILLA GROVE â The cityâs old water plant will be demolished, a scrubber modification will be added to the new water plant, and a section of the community will get new water mains.
Pending state EPA approval, the projects can proceed as time and weather permit, City Administrator Jacki Athey said.
Bids have been received for all three projects, totaling $672,256. However, the city will have to pay only half of that ($336,128) as a result of a state grant.
Project manager Andy Kieser of Fehr Graham engineers said the city will pay the remainder of the cost with a 30-year loan from Illinois EPA.
