Nelsonville weighs financing plan for sewage system

City council and Mayor Hilleary discussed reviving a 1940s era sewage project. Alfred Le Feber and Louis Warner from Cincinnati firms outlined mortgage revenue bonds as the favored funding, with costs now estimated at 400000 to 500000 dollars. The plan would impose a service fee on sewage taps, likely 80 to 90 percent of the water bill, to cover plant operations and bond retirement. The issue, tied to Ohio anti pollution law, will be reviewed by Burgess Niple engineers and the public utilities committee.
