Water Control Board approves regional Sewage plant for Lynchburg area
The State Water Control Board backed a regional sewage treatment plan for Lynchburg Amherst and Bedford counties rejecting Campbell County’s participation. A public hearing was set on a Bath County pump storage project by Virginia Electric and Power. If approved the hydro project would begin in 1979, expanding power beyond current Surry units. Reservoirs along Back Creek would store and release water to power generators with recreation lakes planned below the lower reservoir.

Miller says Vepco rate hike should be cut to 23.9 million
Virginia Attorney General Andrew P. Miller and Assistant Atty. Gen. Walter A. Marston told the State Corporation Commission that Virginia Electric & Power Co. exaggerated deterioration of its rate of return and should receive less than half of the 30 million dollar request. Vepco seeks 30.9 million in addition to an existing 18.1 million temporary surcharge. Moody's lowered Vepco's bond rating, increasing future borrowing costs amid its large construction program.

Lt. Gov. Earle E. Morris accused gubernatorial rivals of hedging on full financial disclosures while touring Darlington County. He said he released his worth and tax returns first and urged all candidates to do the same. He urged voters to value experience and rejected sweeping dismissals of politicians amid Watergate. He opposed death-penalty repeals and criticized Washington-driven solutions, targeting Rep. W. Bryan Dorn as a rival. Morris planned to open campaign HQ in Greenville and hold a 10:30 a.m. news conference.
