CRESTON – The topic of leaking manholes within the Village of Creston was once again discussed during the monthly meeting Tuesday.
Village Engineer Kevin Bunge talked about seven of the worst manholes in the village that had recently been repaired and were no longer leaking.
“Grouting went well, we got seven manholes done that are now all as tight as a drum,” said Bunge.
The cost of grouting the seven manholes was $10,143.
While there are still eight or more manholes that need new chimney seals, there are three specific manholes in most need of repair. A motion was passed to use up to $4,500 to visualize and look for leaks in those areas.
Trustees also passed a motion to adopt a solar panel ordinance similar to what is already existing in other cities such as Rochelle.
The lease discussing renting out the city farm to Petry Farms was also brought up during the meeting. The agreement is for two years with a third-year option at the end of the initial two, at $300 an acre. The village just needs to print it out and have the agreement signed.
Trustees discussed decorating the town gazebo before Saturday, Dec. 7 for the upcoming holiday season. Dement Township recently purchased six new decorations, all LED so that the bulbs don’t need to be replaced as often.
