City Buys Water Company For 750000 In Historic Move
The Corry Water Supply Co. board voted to sell its assets to the city for 750000, marking Corry’s first municipal water system. Brown will stay a year to ease turnover, with operation to shift to city control in about 60 days while retaining current staff. Mayor Zarger calls the purchase beneficial for residents as costs rise. The utility, chartered in 1884, began with Hare Creek water and 16 inch suction lines, now served by 26 wells.
