Thorpes Get Waterworks at Hastings
Thorpe Well Co of Des Moines was ruled the low bidder for Hastings municipal water system and awarded the contract at a special meeting on December 10. Mayor Elmo Hites said the bid of 59898.34 dollars is above the original estimate but will not raise taxes or assessments as the extra funds will come from revenue. The firm will begin on the well soon, with ditching and main laying possibly delayed until spring, aiming to have the system in use before next summer.
