Two more solar farms are heading to Boonville in 2020. The solar plants will be at the water well in Spencer county and the water treatment plant in Bullocktown. The city hopes this will lower monthly water bills.
The city received a federal grant of $630,000 that will create a new well solar field, water treatment plant solar field, and a network metering system. Mayor Charlie Wyatt says the project will save the city $17,000 a month.
