The Village of Moweaqua has tentative approval for a loan from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The loan will be used to help Moweaqua paint water storage tanks and construct water mains. Two water storage tanks will be painted and approximately 1,728 feet of 6-inch diameter PVC water main, valves, fittings, and service lines will be restored. The water main work will take place along Hanover Street between South and East Main and along Wall Street between Macon and Putman Street.   Chris Nifong, project manager for the Infrastructure Financial Assistance Section explains the process.

The Village of Moweaqua plans to improve water distribution every five years by replacing sections of water mains. The customers in these areas have experienced breaks and repairs and the new water main will be constructed within the street right-of-way and improve water system pressure and flow and ensure that residents are not being served by lead service lines. The projected cost is estimated at $813,000.
