Bowie seeks $30000... sewer bonds despite legal questions
An election is set for Tuesday to decide if Bowie may issue $300,000 of sewer revenue bonds for a new disposal plant, new lines, and a lift station. Mayor Spears mulls a special council session to rescind the initial action after bonding officials said the call may have been illegal. The plan shifts load from an aging south side plant to a new facility, with multiple new and expanded sewer segments valued at tens of thousands of dollars.
