Sanitary Board Lawyer Responds To PSC Hearing In Bluefield
Sanitary Board attorney Norris Kantor filed a formal answer with the Public Service Commission over charges that the board refused to connect outside city limits. The PSC held a hearing to compel connections for Tinder White Truck & Equipment Co. and Roger Nicewander. The board argues its general service area covers only within city limits and warns outside connections could raise taxes and harm annexation efforts. Meanwhile bids may be advertised soon for the Virginia portion of a $28 million sewer project, and plans include sludge disposal as part of phase two. The Ada treatment plant opened smoothly and efforts convert East End into a storm-holding facility to maintain flow.
