PUBLIC HEARING - Water Works Park Splash Pad Project
ATTENTION City of Morrison Residents
The City of Morrison is looking to make improvements at Waterworks Park, to enhance the overall experience that the park provides and provide additional amenities for the City’s residents. The City’s proposed project is for the addition of a Splash Pad at Waterworks Park. The City is currently working to gather costs and public input about the potential improvements, which is why the City is asking for resident feedback. The City is inviting residents of Morrison to attend the Public Information Meetings to discuss the proposed project. There will be two total meetings held – July 27th at 6:30 pm & August 24th at 6:30 pm. Both meetings will be held at the Odell Public Library in the Community Room – 307 S. Madison Street, Morrison, IL. 61270.
The City is looking to apply to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) – Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant program. This grant program can pay up to 50% of the overall eligible project costs, which will provide the City with financial assistance and help in stretching the City’s revenue to complete additional projects.
For more information on the City’s proposed project or the public information meetings, please contact the Morrison City Administrator, Brian Melton, at 815-772-7657.

City of Morrison Utility Billing Delayed in July
On July 7, 2026, the City of Morrison will be transitioning to a new computer software platform with BS&A Software to support utility billing, payments, and customer information.
Due to this upcoming transition, utility billing for July 1 will be delayed.
Utility bills are generally mailed/emailed on the last business day of the month with account balances due on or before the fifteenth (15th) of each month. During this transition, the July billing will not be mailed/emailed until no earlier than July 10, 2026.
Understanding that the delayed billing will be short notice for the due date of July 15th, the City of Morrison asks that account balances be paid as soon as possible once the billing is received. As a result of this transition and inconvenience, there will be no late fees or other penalties during the July billing and payment period.
Additional details and online account access information for the new software platform; BS&A Software, will be shared very soon!
If you have any questions, please visit City Hall at 200 West Main Street, Morrison or by calling 815-772-7657.
The City of Morrison appreciates the community’s tolerance, patience, and support during this transition.
