The City of Taylorville is scaling back it's plans for a new water plant. Taylorville Mayor Greg Brotherton spoke with Regional Radio News and said how the reason for the scale back was largely due to the city not bringing in as much money as it projected.

Brotherton said there is no concerns with the new, smaller plant about any sort of issues delivering water to the city, should the city grow. Brotherton said the city is still giving itself plenty of headroom to bring in new businesses and industries to the city.

Plans for the new water plant originally for a plant that could provide roughly 5 million gallons of water per day. The new plans will most likely be for a plant that has closer to a 4 million gallon per day capability.
