The Town of Normal may spend about $353,000 to dig a new water well. That s among the proposals going before the council 0n Monday.
In documents prepared for the council, town staff said the move will let the town abandon two other wells one near Anderson Pool and another near College Avenue in Anderson Park. Staff say a test drilling suggests a new well nearby will produce about 400 gallons per minute. The old wells have deteriorated and become clogged with sand. They each produce only 60-80 gallons per minute. If approved, drilling would start in late May.
Normal Town Council meets remotely Monday, March 1, 2021.
The Normal Town Council on Monday night adopted a $138.2 million budget for fiscal year 2021 that begins next month.
In a year of pandemic, the budget represents the town s strength, said Normal Mayor Chris Koos.
“The world has thrown us some curves, and some tough, tough issues,” said Koos. “Year in, year out, staff in the town of Normal figures out ways to do the best they possibly can, to have the least negative impact on our citizens.”
Also at the four-hour meeting, the council moved forward with several projects using state and federal funding, including a nearly $1 million Towanda Avenue bridge rehab project; using more than $1 million in federal funds to design a $10 million reimagined West College Avenue; and earmarking about $1.7 million in state funds to handle a variety of road resurfacing work throughout Normal.

The Spotted Dog on Morrissey Drive paid $500 for a first violation. They are the latest of nearly a dozen bars that have been fined for such infractions.
