The Great Bend City Council Monday night approved change order number five for the waterline replacement project which approved and additional $297,000. The additional work was needed along Forest Avenue from Jackson to Washington and the abandonment of an existing line at 9th and Stone.

On-Call City Engineer Josh Golka hopes this will be the last change order that will be needed as the project that began in September of 2017 is almost complete.
