The village will spend more than $400,000 this fall to replace old water main pipes along Warner Avenue and State Street.

Len Cox and Sons Excavating will work on the State Street project, replacing exisiting parallel 4-inch and 6-inch water mains from Cass Street to Illinois Street with new 12-inch pipes. The cost will be $176,170, which is higher than the original engineer's estimate of $145,717.
