Sewage Care Deemed Top Public Health Issue Countywide
Dr. Page Seckford of the Kanawha Charleston Health Department calls sewage disposal the number one public health problem in the county. A proposed zoning ordinance aims to curb helter skelter suburban development and require acceptable sewage and water supply measures for new construction. Bank debit activity in Charleston area rose 4 percent in May as activity shifts to areas with sewer infrastructure. Huntington and Bluefield show gains, with Clarksburg and Parkersburg posting notable increases.
