Columbus Firm To Apply for Pomeroy Sewage Plant Contract
Burgess Niple of Columbus won the bid to file plans with the Federal Works Administration for a sewerage system and sewage disposal plant in Pomeroy. The project aims to secure government funds for planning, with loan repayment only if construction starts. The move aligns with postwar projects and a state river town mandate for river communities to have disposal plants.
