Water kept on in Sesser after last minute deal
Rend Lake Conservancy District and the city of Sesser reached a last minute agreement to keep water service on. The city had withheld about $127,000 overpayments due to a faulty ALCD master meter and had withheld more than $100,000 in short payments since July 2009. The RLCD board required past due balances and future short payments to be placed in escrow pending litigation resolution.
