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 Itâs every little boyâs dream to play with construction toys and dig in the dirt.
A work crew from Bowen Engineering must be having all kinds of fun as they are in the midst of installing 60-inch pipes at the east end of Butler â sometimes in the pouring rain.
This $8 million project isnât just for fun, however. The goal is to help the city solve a long-standing issue of combined sewer overflow events.
The work will take a year and a half to complete, interim Wastewater Superintendent Scott Lanning explained, adding the project is on schedule. Donohue & Associates is the engineering firm for the project. Bowen Engineering is handling the construction side.
