Water Plan Wins and Bonds Lose in Henderson Vote
Henderson residents approved a municipal water system but rejected a bond plan required to fund it. In a Wednesday election 48 voted for the water plan and 47 against, short of a simple majority trigger. A separate bond proposal of up to $13,000 failed with 48 in favor and 42 against, needing 60% to pass. Mayor Clair Aukland said the town council would meet June 7 to decide next steps. The plan anticipated up to $40,000 spending with $27,000 from earnings and $13,000 from bonds. A prior water system proposal was already rejected in the northeast Mills county community.
