The village will be getting the millings from the highway 180 construction. They will grind them up to redo Pinon Street. Bauch said for now it will be placed by the Brown Derby. The regional water project has come down to two proposals for the water lines. Bauch will bring a map for the council to view in November. They will be trying to get the PER (preliminary engineering report) done by the end of November, so they have something for the legislative session.
