At Monday's city commission meeting, the commissioners unanimously approved a proposal from Fleis & VandenBrink to replace one of the city's water mains.
The specific main being addressed runs along Fuller Avenue between State Street and Escott Street. The new water main will be 12 inches in diameter, 4 inches bigger than the current 8-inch water main. This will increase the amount of water flowing from the city's water tower to the residential neighborhoods.
"We have historically had some issues with filling in that area," City Manager Mark Gifford said.
The project would begin in the summer of 2026. Engineering expenses were listed up to $24,500.
The commission also has a long-term plan for water projects extending over the next six to 10 years.
