The Normal Town Council meets remotely, Monday, April 5, 2021.
A Normal subdivision plagued by aging water mains and discolored water will see those pipes replaced two years ahead of schedule after the Normal Town Council voted Monday to begin the project next month.
The council voted unanimously during its virtual meeting to spend up to $618,000 with Gibson-City based SNC Construction Inc., for the Oakdale Heights subdivision project. Work begins May 1, and should be done by Aug. 31. SNC is the same contractor handling the current Main Street water main replacement project.
“If somebody’s having an issue today, there’s a good chance that somebody in that area could have a problem tomorrow,” said Normal Water Director John Burkhart, referring to the plan to move up the project.
