Linton water dispute stalls Farm Bureau project
The Linton City Council in a special meeting rejected Farm Bureau Co op plans for a water line from the Waterworks Pumping Station to the Oil Terminal on state road 54. The Co op had bought pipe at a cost of about 10 000 dollars and faced a projected total installation cost exceeding 20 000 dollars. The council cited lack of full consideration and potential charges to customers, while a local Terminal official noted jobs and revenue tied to expansion. The matter may be reopened as work continues tomorrow.
