Water Utilities

As most of you have probably noticed by now, work has started on repairing and upgrading our water tower. As a result, the water tower will be drained in order to complete this project. You will see equipment and tanks placed in a few locations around town including the park and on the empty lot at the corner of Robinson Street and St John Street. These tanks are just to help equalize the pressures in the water system as the tower is being drained. While the tower will be down for a couple months, the water quality will not be negatively impacted in any way. There is NO boil order in town at this time and the water is, as always, safe to drink. If there is ever a need for a boil order, we will notify all residents immediately. We have done an immense amount of preparation and work to make sure nothing changes with residents water quality or usage. This is a large undertaking and we are aware that this project could potentially cause inconvenience to some. We apologize in advance for this and will make every effort to correct and make right any issues during this project and all future projects. We appreciate everyone's understanding as we begin this first phase in improving the water system in Bethany. And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to call our office at 217-665-3351. And keep an eye on our Facebook page or website for updates.
