Mayor Rick Gottman took time during his announcement portion of Tuesday night’s Vandalia City Council meeting to praise city crew for their work on several water main breaks that have occurred in the city during this cold snap affecting the area. Gottman especially thanked the crew for their work on New Years Day during temperatures in the single digits and wind chills below zero.
The city crews have also had to fix a lift station malfunction on Main Street over the weekend and a converter that went down at the lake on Tuesday during this extremely cold weather.
