The City of Clinton plans to build a new water tower in the next year and plans are moving along a little quicker than anticipated.
City Administrator Taylor Baxter indicates the City will be utilizing EPA loans to help pay for two projects - one at the City's water plant and the other for the new water tower site. Additionally, they plan to use just short of a million dollars to pay for the water plant work.
According to Baxter, there are a couple of different locations the City could turn to for the site of the new water tower. He explains they are currently working through where would be the best location for it.
Last week on Regional Radio, Baxter indicated to Regional Radio the architects of the project recommended separating the projects which they felt would give them access to more loan forgiveness opportunities.
He indicates they need to keep in mind timing on the EPA side of the project so they can access those dollars which is moving the project along at a good pace to this point.
