Franklin Ordered to Extend Water to Two Rocky Grove Sites
The Public Utility Commission mandated Franklin extend water lines to two Rocky Grove properties, reversing the city council’s refusal due to cost. The decision also may influence plans for a $400,000 motel by Karns and Latchaw near Oil City. Separate orders upheld the Andersons’ complaint and required a cost participation agreement to render the extension economically feasible. Ex-mayor H. Atlee Brumbaugh dies at 89 after car crash injuries in Altoona.
