Board reviews Benton & Associates report on water tower, seeks updated engineering input and funding options
Summary
Trustees reviewed a prior Benton & Associates study on the village water tower and asked staff to obtain updated engineering assessments and potential funding sources before proceeding with repairs or a replacement.
Trustees reviewed a report from Benton & Associates dated in the board packet outlining options for repairing or replacing the village water tower. Superintendent Brian English and staff discussed that repairs and funding options were considered in the report but that costs and grant opportunities need updating; the village plans to request updated engineering recommendations and funding strategies from Benton or a second engineering firm before moving forward.
Trustees discussed grant opportunities, including a community-congressional grants window referenced by Trustee Butler, and asked staff to set up updated presentations and to collect another engineering opinion for comparison. The board also noted an upcoming EPA inspection at the end of February that could affect scope and timing for tower work.
