Meigs Water Company Threatens Service Discontinuation
The Meigs Water Company, serving Pomeroy and Middleport, warns it may stop service after August 10 due to lack of funds. Officials claim council payments are overdue and residents face poor water pressure, with the Lincoln Hill reservoir often dry and hydrants showing wide pressure variation. The franchise promised $10,000 bond and rehabilitation, but critics say the plant remains rundown and water quality and supply persist as major concerns.
