Rio Grande Waterworks Plant Delayed in Gallipolis
Rio Grande waterworks and sewage disposal plant in Gallipolis is far from complete despite 80 to 120 WPA workers and $62 000 spent. Only the concrete reservoir is finished and the hydraulic pumping plant is not, leaving water supply useless. Local residents face open ditches and debris as funds run short, forcing calls for more WPA money or local funding to finish by Christmas.
