During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the city's involvement in water system upgrades, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the project with the local water district. The conversation highlighted the necessity for design work on several smaller projects, including upgrades to water lines under US 62, along Main Street, and extending to Commerce Drive. These improvements are crucial to ensure adequate water flow for fire protection at an outdoor music venue.

City representatives clarified that although the city is not primarily in the water business, it is responsible for the design phase of these upgrades as part of its role as the developer of the property. The agreement with the water district stipulates that the developer typically covers the design costs, a responsibility that now falls on the city due to its development activities.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to adopt the proposed plans, signaling a commitment to enhancing the local infrastructure in partnership with the water district.
