Aid For Water Works Indefinite Says Mayor
Mayor Earl Hilleary told Nelsonville council that federal funds for a new water treatment plant are not assured. The FHA paperwork and a possible low interest loan are under review, with time needed for decisions. A coil fire at the plant requires two to three days repair, while standby power keeps operations and 24 hour pumping continues due to leaks. A private dormitory project and a potential industry move would raise future water demand.

Water Pressure Rise Proposed At Council
Nelsonville council committees report on finances with general and water funds standing at 29 782.68 and 48 781.90 while sewer and street funds show deficits. Talks with Tri-County High School about sanitary sewer service and possible water main ties to the Southeast Ohio Tuberculosis Hospital standpipe could boost pressure for Mason City Hill and Pine Grove. Public zoning hearings are planned as Don Kern’s committee moves toward a modified zoning law. Local officials seek state permission for standpipe use.
