To save the City of Clinton money, the water department will be upgrading the surveillance of the automated water treatment plant equipment.

Monday night at the Clinton City Council meeting, Commissioner John Wise says problems with the current equipment is costing the city overtime to bring workers in on weekends. He says the new system is going to be a cost-savings measure.

According to Wise, an Indiana company will install it and will only charge the City for services when they have to travel to work on it. The council approved the purchase of the new system through Donohue & Associates, INC. for no more than $10,000.

The City also approved an ordinance for the local Cure program, part of the CARES act which gives the city access to those funds released in the spring.
