OTTAWA — The Ottawa City Commission has scheduled a vote on whether to get a special loan from the Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment to build a new water line between the Marais des Cygnes River and the city water plant. Commissioners will vote on a $3.3 million loan application at their April 6 regular meeting. At Monday’s study session, city finance officer Scott Bird told commissioners the loan term would be for 20 years for 2.13 percent. The city has been working on the water line proposal for nearly three years, he said. The additional water line would back up the city’s aging water line between the river and the city water plant.
