The next step in the process is to construct the Pump House Facility. The City Council discussed the plans at the May 26, 2015 regular meeting and requested further review of the architectural elements of the pump house. Additional discussion was held at the June 1, 2015 council work session and June 8, 2015 regular meeting. The plans have been revised to incorporate comments received during the discussion.
