Five new council members were shown cost figures for a proposed Nelsonville waterworks and sewer rehab by engineers from Floyd G. Brown and Associates. Costs ranged from 670000 for rehab in 1969 to 1242000 for a new plant, with FHA funding unlikely this year and outside-area extensions raising subsidies. The issue, tied to state takeover risk and rate impacts, will be reconsidered at the next council session.
