Q and A on City Water and State Highway Control
A reader asks about extending a water main on Airport road and hydrant financing. The city has no immediate plans to extend the main this year, instead planning a pumping facility between the reservoir and near Airport road and Spring street to cover fire protection. The city pays about $9,000 annually for hydrant service, with $30 per year per hydrant plus $9 per year per 10 feet of engine capacity. The state highway department controls posted speeds on state routes within the city, and the city must maintain drainage and snow removal. The assistant notes limited local control and predicts overall rise of centralized authority.
