Atlanta Water Works manager warns need for bonds and plant upgrades
General Manager Woodward urges rapid city bond issue of 500000 to fund crucial water system improvements. He calls for a new force main, additional basins, larger mains, a 20000000 gallon per day pump, and a second pumping station to handle Atlanta’s rapid growth and avoid water shortages. If approved, revenue could rise to 500000 annually within five years and allow rate reductions.
