January 1958 council warned of typhoid outbreak risk as water ran through a deteriorated five hundred foot pipe line. Weeping beds and cess pools fed tanks made the area contaminated. Millbrook Public Utilities Commission ordered corrective steps. A sanitary engineer drafted reports and drawings for health authorities.
In 1958 the Unit Water Resources Commission and Municipal Board acted on a request to replace a section of pipeline. The Municipal Board authorized expenditure in December 1958 and the PUC chairman and secretary signed contracts by June 2, 1959. Only one protest was received in early 1958. Mill Brook Municipal Board later approved the project in August, authorizing construction. Notices will be given via the Mill Brook PUC and the Mirror Reporter on payment arrangements and the transition to new service pipes. Sincere thanks from Reeve Gee F Harrington.
