Adequate Filter Plant Ordered for Cape Girardeau
The Missouri Utilities Company was ordered by the Public Service Commission to build an adequate water filter plant at the Mississippi river intake, improve gas quality, and install an upgraded street lighting system in Cape Girardeau. The city had complained of unsatisfactory gas and water service and inadequate lighting, and cited alleged excessive and discriminatory domestic electric rates. The commission noted water quality not unhealthful but below best, withheld light-rate decisions until the new system is in place, and gave 60 days to present plans for approval. It also reminded the city’s franchise proviso about municipal takeover if the plant is municipalized in about three years, and criticized gas quality, giving 60 days to improve.
