The Taylorville Police Department is getting a new roof. The city council previously approved the new roof and work started on the project this week.

Taylorville mayor Bruce Barry says although the current roof wasn’t that old, it had major issues that they could not get fixed through the company who did that job. So, the city had to turn to completely replacing the roof.

Barry says although the city is paying for the mistake of installing the last roof, this roof has a much longer warranty and it comes from a company he has plenty of confidence in.

Barry expects the roof to be done before the end of the year.
