ELKHORN The city’s purchase of about a dozen acres of farmland for a new $9.2 million drinking water project on the northeast side could be formalized as soon as this fall, a city official said Wednesday.
During a recent closed session, the city council instructed the city attorney to begin drafting a purchase agreement with the property owner, City Administrator Sam Tapson said. Council members generally were willing to accept the landowner’s offer, he said.
City officials want to purchase land near Highway 11 and Cobb Road in adjacent Lafayette Township. The project includes sinking two new wells into the deep aquifer and building a water treatment plant and storage facility, Tapson said.
