Eau Claire County is looking to spend some of the last of its coronavirus stimulus money on power and water.
The county board last week voted to spend more than a half-million dollars on solar panels for the county courthouse, and a new water testing program. The money is the last of the unrestricted portion of the 20 million that Eau Claire County received as part of the stimulus program. In addition to the courthouse, the county plans to add solar panels to the Eau Claire County Agriculture & Resource Center in Altoona as well.
