(KMZA)--The Seneca City Council has given a local Boy Scout approval to proceed with his Eagle Scout project.

Wyatt Ruske told the Council last week he would like to replace the fencing around the city’s historic hand dug well, which is located in the City Park.

Ruske said if the city would provide the materials, he would remove the current chain link fence and replace it with a decorative wrought iron fence and gate.  The project would also include new decorative rock and two new signs.

The Council approved the project at a total cost of just over $6,200 for materials.  The Council also granted Ruske permission to use some of the city’s tools and equipment.

Ruske said he will do the work himself and probably begin in the spring of
2018.
