The Decatur City Council approved a Westech pilot proposal for the water treatment plant expansion on March 23 after staff clarified the missing cost figure for a four‑month equipment study.

"The total price for the 4 month study for this particular piece of equipment is $80,980," the staff member said.

A council member moved to approve the Westech pilot proposal and to authorize the city manager to execute the necessary documents; the motion passed unanimously.

Staff said the pilot is intended to evaluate the equipment before making permanent purchases as part of the expansion.
