THIS WEEK'S STORIES
TOP STORY
GOVERNMENT · JUNE 18
Marengo cut the ribbon on its new $7.55 million water filtration plant on Greenlee Street on June 15. The city says the facility, now fully operational, removes iron, manganese, and radium from the municipal supply and, paired with a new 1,020-foot well, adds capacity for the town's growth. City Hall says the project will not raise residents' water rates.
LOCAL BUSINESS
LOCAL BUSINESS · JUNE 19
The downtown tavern at 214 S. State is back after months closed and a reversed liquor-license revocation, and it's hiring bartenders and cooks. Owner Leslie Boomgarden: "We will be glad to see familiar faces as well as new customers."
