After the construction of the new water tower is built at a higher elevation, the existing tower will no longer be able to be functional and will be decommissioned from use. It is unknown at this time whether the Village will demolish the structure or continue to invest funds to maintain it into the future as a historic landmark. The proposed water tower still needs to be designed, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026 and last for 18-24 months before the transition of operation occurs. There is still time for the community to contemplate and voice opinions on the future of the existing water tower. The proposed water tower and PFAS removal facility decisions are currently the most urgent matters.
