Work on the downtown restroom facility near the Winamac Parkway is almost done for the season.
The Town of Winamac received $10,000 through the Pulaski County Community Foundation ‘Love Your Community Place-making Grant.’ They decided to spend the money constructing public bathrooms in the area, with hopes of bringing more community events to the area in the future.
At a Winamac Town Council meeting last week, Town Manager Brad Zellers informed the council about work that is currently being done and when construction will resume once it is closed for the wintertime.
Zellers said, “We’ve got that pads poured, they’re going to lay the block, we’ll put the roof on it and close it up until the spring.”
Zellers went onto say that both bathrooms will have two stalls with ADA sinks in each. They will be adding a water fountain and bottle filling station under the roof in between the restrooms. He mentioned that the council will eventually have to decide whether or not to have hot water in the facilities but that decision can be made in the future.
