The Middletown City Commission narrowly approved a shift from its five year water policy to a more liberal stance, endorsing extending water service beyond corporate boundaries wherever practical. Debate centered on balancing future growth and rising rates with the county water system, as commissioners cited a need for a survey of facilities and adequate taps for outside users.
