As Decatur continues to grow, infrastructure needs also grow. So Utilities Director Kevin Hackman (photo) continues to look ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its July 5 meeting, the city’s board of works and safety gave Hackman the okay to spend $23,000 to have Midwestern Engineers to do a study evaluating various water main extensions and replacements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Indiana firm will also provide cost estimates for any proposed projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One project could be the addition of a new main on Winchester Road, in the area of the Cross Creek Subdivision and Barrington Woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt (the study) will give us a cost estimate plan to see what we can afford to do in the future,\u201d Hackman told the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Hackman and Infrastructure Manager Josh Zimmerman discussed with the board a repeal and replacement of chapter 52 storm water regulations in the city’s Code of Ordinances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The changes are being made due to altered state requirements, Hackman explained. Other communities are doing the same as the state seeks to standardize the regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No fees will be changed, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board approved of the change on two readings, then tabled the third and final reading to the July 18 meeting. Due to an ordinance being changed, a public hearing is required and will be held that night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
