Lorain weighs new water plant options with lower renovation cost
Lorain council hears new proposals from Gills Guard and Johnson to renovate the 82 year old water treatment plant at lower costs than earlier bids. A minimal renovation could cost about 16.2 million, with a larger plan at 28.8 million and a new plant option around 40 million. Some members question the presentation amid past firm connections and prior contested reports. Council continues to decide how to proceed after voters rejected a new plant last year.
