Water Authority Holds January Meeting

Effingham Water Authority trustees granted a variance request to allow construction of a small home on Lot 15 Schoenhoff Subdivision.

The lot is just under the minimum of 20 thousand square feet.

Trustees also heard a request from Matthew Haynie of the Illinois Bass Federation, who asked that the 2015 sticker fee be waived for their tournament again this year. The Federation works with youth, IDNR, conservation programs and also raise money through their tournaments for Shriners Hospitals. It was agreed to consider the request for a vote at the February meeting.
