Manilla Council Deliberates On Water Supply Plan
At Tuesday night’s council session aldermen debated a primitive water supply for Manilla. The Works Committee presented an estimate totaling about 200 pounds for a foot of Arthur Street tank, including pump, tank stand, motor, shed, piping, tank, and labor. Some favored expanding to a main street service with a 1000 to 1500 pound budget, funded by a local rate, while others urged caution and a full council review, leading to a referral to a special meeting.
