Morton and Warrens approve agreements for new well sites and water infrastructure

In a decisive move to enhance the city's water infrastructure, the Warrenton Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a series of agreements during their meeting on June 3, 2025. The board passed four key ordinances, all related to the development of Well Number 10, signaling a significant investment in the community's water supply.

The first ordinance authorized an agreement with Hegeman, Inc. for the construction of a new well house. This was followed by the approval of a contract with Caldwell Tanks Inc. for a new water storage tank, ensuring adequate supply and storage capacity for the growing city. The board also greenlit an agreement with Keeley Construction Group Inc. for a new water main, which is crucial for connecting the new well to the existing water system.

Finally, the board approved a contract with Flynn Drilling Company for the drilling of a new deep well, further solidifying the city's commitment to improving its water resources. Each of these measures passed with a 6-0 vote, reflecting strong support among the aldermen.

These developments are expected to enhance water reliability and quality for Warrenton residents, addressing both current needs and future growth. The board's swift action underscores the importance of proactive infrastructure planning in maintaining community health and sustainability.
