Gallipolis approves water line extension plan beyond city limits
Gallipolis city commissioners on Tuesday night adopted a plan to extend water mains beyond city limits to serve new subdivisions along Route 588. Buyers must post estimated construction costs minus 100 dollars per lot, with refunds or additional charges shared among initial funders. future connections require similar deposits. The policy ties development to road dedication, main sizing, and tap costs, and treats extensions beyond the original proposal as separate projects. Also approved are sick leave policy changes for all city workers, a recreation budget request, and bids for a half ton water works truck, with a survey ordered for sewer facility cooperation.
