BUTLER â Replacing aging infrastructure is a necessary process, and it comes with a hefty price tag.
The City of Butler has applied for a maximum $5 million State Water Infrastructure (SWIF) grant to address long-needed replacement of water and sewer lines on North Broadway.
Monday, Clerk-Treasurer Angela Eck and City Attorney Cedric Hollabaugh told the City Council to be prepared to raise water rates to help pay for the updates.
How much the rates will increase has not been finalized, Eck said after the meeting.
A water rate study showed the need for a rate increase, Hollabaugh said. The last rate increase was in 2019.
BUTLER â Two retiring Butler firefighters were honored for their service to the community.
Fire Chief Jeff Shultz presented badges and retirement plaques to Paul Bowsher and Brent Miller at the start of Tuesdayâs Common Council meeting. Bowsher and Miller spent 20 years as volunteer members of the department.
âTwenty years is a very long time to be doing something in this day and age,â Shultz said. âThatâs quite an achievement.â He estimated each firefighter responded to more than 1,000 calls while on the department.
Their names will appear on a fire department plaque. Shultz noted they are the 33rd and 34th volunteers with at least 20 years of service in the 125-year history of the department.
Both bodies want to gather more information before making any decisions.
Ultimately, the final parking decision lies with the City Council.
The Board of Works heard complaints from a resident in the 100 block of West Green Street, near American Legion Post 202.
One idea under consideration is eliminating four parking spaces along the north side of Green Street. Board member Eric Johnson favored that idea, but recommended talking to American Legion representatives before taking any action.
The city may also consider eliminating one parking space on the south side of Green Street, closest to Broadway (S.R. 1).
Later, City Council members heard a report of issues with residents parking vehicles in the grass strips between sidewalks and the street or across and blocking sidewalks.
