Racine Water System Project May Resume Soon
Difficulties delaying Racine water system construction may be resolved in about ten days or two weeks, said C. Lewis of the trustees. The major hurdle is financing after the bonding plan was withdrawn. Officials still hope WPA funds will be found and that critical materials are secured for a system larger than before. Some workers are already in Racine with more to come once the project proceeds.
