City's New Water Well Ready Soon
Baytown plans to activate the Pelly No 3 water well this week while Pelly No 1 will be shut for repairs. Public works director C W Grantham noted finishing touches were to be completed and operation could begin within days at the Lee drive and Riggs site, replacing No 2 at Nazra warehouse.
