The City of Decatur posts the level of Lake Decatur daily, with the normal summer range of 613.5 to 614.2 feet printed beside it. Potable water is a Public Works job here, split between Water Production and Water Services, which covers distribution and metering, under a mission the department states in five words: sustain life with clean water. The South Water Treatment Plant is replacing 36-year-old electrical switchgear, automating its controls, and wiring for solar, paid for by a low-interest State Revolving Fund loan from the Illinois EPA.
City Hall at 1 Gary K. Anderson Plaza holds the administrative side, and Public Works, utility customer service, and the police carry the rest. Decatur also seats standing commissions for civil service, city planning, zoning appeals, human relations, and historic and architectural sites, each meeting on its own calendar.
