High Point voters face 8.5 million bond for water plant
High Point City Council asks voters to approve 8.5 million in long term bonds to fund a new water filtration plant, with 1 million for eastside sewage renovation and 500 000 for streets. The plan avoids a full ballot by using a two thirds debt rule, citing deteriorating current facilities and regional planning needs.
