(ODON) - Officials in Odon are wanting to upgrade the town’s water utility system.
The Odon Journal reports that upgrades proposed by Midwestern Engineers will cost the town approximately $8.2 million. Of that $3.9 million will be needed to upgrade the drinking water system and another $4.3 million to solve the town's flooding issues.
Specifics of the work include replacement of water mains in selected areas, replacing valves and hydrants where needed, and installing a constant pressure booster station and drilling a new well.
To help with the flooding problem Midwestern recommended building a detention basin and adding a storm sewer network in at least two areas of the town. The Journal story concluded saying the storm water project may have to be partially financed by the passage of a new town-wide storm water tax levy - around $45, but that amount may be less with the possibilities of grants and loans to help pay for the projects.
