Williams, Jr., City Manager � <br /> Bruce A. McNabb, Director of Public Works � <br /> SUBJECT: State Grant for Nitrate Control in Water System <br /> As you are probably aware, the State Budget for 1998-99 includes a $500,000 grant to the <br /> City of Decatur to assist with the control of nitrate in our water system. At this time, it appears <br /> that these funds will be used for the design and partial construction of a blending system to reduce <br /> nitrate concentrations in water produced at the South Water Treatment Plant. However, the final <br /> disposition of these funds will depend on the results of preliminary engineering and approval of <br /> our Nitrate Control Plan by the Illinois EPA. The project description for the grant is attached. <br /> No matching funds are required. <br /> The grant does require that the City designate an individual to sign the grant application and <br /> supporting documents. The attached resolution will authorize the City Manager to sign these <br /> documents. <br /> attach.: 2 <br /> cc: State Sen. Kevin Kehoe <br /> Beth B. Couter <br />
