Due to the record flooding the city of Watseka experienced on February 21, the City has initially permitted homeowners and tenants to occupy homes regardless of the damages they recieved.
There are a large number of homes that must be declared Substantially Damaged by the Federal Mandate that the City must follow to adhere to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Letters of Damage Assessment will be composed for owners of these homes. By this Federal Mandate, homes that are substantially damaged must be relocated, elevated or demolished. These homes cannot be sold or occupied unless one of these three options have been complied with.

For questions and concerns contact City Hall at 815-432-2711..
