Will Braidwood soon run out of water?
According to Braidwood city clerk Sarah Weaver, Braidwood uses six million gallons of water each month, which amounts to approximately 200,000 a day. With new residents and businesses moving into town, that amount may not be nearly enough – especially if one of the water towers malfunctions.
“With the repairs we need we are only able to hold about 400 to 450K of water above ground right now,” city administrator Tony Altiery said. “We plan on adding another tower so we will be able to hold 1.1 million gallons of above-ground storage.”
