Sewage Plant Expansion Bid Tied to Water Bonds
Baytown City Council denied sale of 750000 in junior water and sewer revenue bonds due to insufficient net operating revenue from the water and sewer system. Citizens National Bank offered to purchase as a first lien or junior lien with a five percent rate for two years. City Manager Fritz Lanham expects funds from higher sewer charges by September 1975 to replace the junior lien bonds and finance the East District Sewage Treatment Plant expansion. The 1970 program also shows 1250000 in unsold water and sewer revenue bonds.
