Syracuse Waterworks Plan Needs Petitioners

POMEROY A new village owned waterworks could be in operation by Christmas in Syracuse if 22 more petitioners sign within about a week. Mayor William Thuener said after a village council meeting that over 100 residents have signed as potential customers and a committee will contact non signers to accelerate the count. The plan aims to attract growth, possibly lower fire insurance rates, and may include supplying water to the grade school. The council also approved bills for College Road work and agreed to ditch maintenance and town hall roof repairs.
