Pomeroy Executive Urges Lower Water Rates for Industry
Charles H. W. Whitaker, president of Hexagon Chemical Co, told Pomeroy Chamber of Commerce officials that water rates are too high for major manufacturing. He noted other communities pay less for water than for power and urged a sliding scale beyond 100 000 gallons monthly to attract industry. He warned the local water works may not meet a 500 000 gallon a day demand and cited a ten cent monthly water discount as ironic.
