Pomeroy Rejects Sewer Plan Amid High Costs and Varying Proposals
Pomeroy officials shelved a government financed storm and sanitary sewer project after learning user charges would reach 1 to 1.25 dollars monthly. Council debated water and light feasibility, gas-rate changes, and cooperation with Middleport for lower utility rates. They ordered taxi fees, addressed parking restrictions, and warned of fire insurance rate risk without improved drainage and fire protection measures.
