Council postpones bond issue for water meters in Nelsonville
Nelsonville council says bonds will not be issued now for buying and installing water meters. A special committee recommends deferring bonds until a future period while meters may be bought from water receipts as funds allow. Mayor Hickman notes needed plant upgrades and city utility ownership keeps rates low. Delinquent accounts prompt possible service disconnections if not paid.
