The Fairfield City Council met last night. Aldermen approved a $1.8 million bid from Caldwell Tank, Inc., out of Louisville, Kentucky for a new water tower next to the million gallon storage tank on Northwest Seventh Street. Funding will come from a combination of TIF and city funding and a grant from then-Representative Darren Bailey. The City will likely need to finance about $700,000 of the project, per Alderman Tyler Lampley, and it may utilize a line of credit to do so.
