CROMWELL â Cromwellâs leaders learned more Tuesday night about their options for waterworks improvement projects and funding resources. Town engineer Casey Erwin of DLZ summarized seven projects that could be part of an Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs grant application. The council will need to decide whether to upgrade and repair its utilities, or build a new infrastructure that will operate for 20 years or more, Erwin said. Projects include improving the existing water treatment plant with minimal upgrades and using the existing filter; building a new water treatment plant designed to last for 20 years; upgrade both wells with new pipes, lines and adapters; rehabilitate the mid-1970s water tower or install a new water tower and remove the old one; replace fire hydrants; and replace existing water meters with new-technology meters that can be read from the street.
