Cameron to Seek Standard Water Mains Settlement
Cameron city officials plan a settlement with Cameron Water Power and Light to install a standard water mains system meeting underwriter requirements before paving proceeds. Mayor White asked Austin for a hydraulic engineer, with council endorsing the move. The plan aims for a permanent system to accommodate future growth, improve fire protection, and ensure paving waits until the water issue is resolved. The Light Company indicated cooperation, and the fire and water committee, chaired by R. Phillips, expects resolution soon.
