Council discusses water ordinance updates; staff to return with options
Summary
Kewanee staff presented possible updates to the city's water ordinances — including tapping fees and responses to uncommon scenarios — and council asked staff to prepare options for a future vote; the mayor clarified the discussion did not include privatization.
On May 26 the Kewanee City Council held a discussion-only item on proposed updates to the municipal water ordinance. Public Works Director Chris Berry presented options such as tapping fees and scenarios that may need special handling. Councilmembers asked staff to examine specific details and return with possible options.
Mayor Moore prefaced the discussion by saying the item was about city ordinance language, not a proposal to privatize water services. No formal action was taken; staff were directed to bring further options and clarifying language to a future meeting for council consideration.
