The Pella City Council will likely have to again delay approval of a contract for construction of a new Jordan Well at this week’s meeting.

The council originally postponed action on the first phase of the city’s long-term water improvement plan in October to wait for official permits and approval from the DNR and confirmation of financing through an SRF Loan, which according to city staff, they have still not received. City staff recommends that the council postpone any action until December 16th as they wait for approval. The Pella City Council meets on the first and third Tuesday every month at 7 p.m. inside the Public Safety Complex on Liberty Street.
