Energy looks to fix water system with Rend Lake option
Energy Illinois faces a choice between revamping its aging water system or linking directly to Rend Lake Intercity Water System. The village near Herrin buys water from Herrin under a 40 year contract paying 50 cents per 1000 gallons, with Herrin receiving Rend Lake water at about 15 cents per 1000 gallons. Any direct Rend Lake contract requires district and Herrin consent, and estimates for intercity hookup cost about 80,000 dollars, while upgrading current pipelines could run about 40,000 dollars.
