Water debate stirs city over proposed loan and sprinkling ban
Citizens await proposals from South Mountain opponents to ease a water drain on the city. A suggested stoppage of street sprinkling could force sprinklers to source from the Quittapahilla creek and compel cellar owners to find alternate pumps. A northward survey ordinance, previously blocked as illegal, may be resubmitted with city engineer oversight. Mayor Weltner previously opposed, but water supply from feasible sources may pass this year.
