Episode Details

At the latest Kewanee City Council meeting, officials tackled public safety upgrades, city infrastructure, and ongoing utility billing troubles. Council members weighed deals on ambulance equipment and accepted federal support for security improvements in public buildings. A highlight included honoring Rosabelle Moore’s 102nd birthday for her service to Kewanee. Water billing delays, caused by postal mishaps and rerouting city bills, generated concern, as many residents incurred late fees despite timely payments. The city maintains that missed bills aren’t grounds for waiving fees, though reconnection fees will be credited for some affected customers.
