Lawrence considers combined water and sewer financing plan
The city weighs issuing 3 million in revenue bonds to fund water and sewage facilities and to merge operations. A separate 917 thousand general obligation bond for elementary schools is set for April 7, with hospital facility expansion also possible. State health criticism spurred plans, while a Kansas Legislature bill could simplify the project.
