Monahans Accepts Donated Water Line From Dunagan Family
Monahans City Council formally accepted about 3,500 feet of asbestos cement 4 inch water line donated by the Dunagan brothers Conrad and Buddy. The line runs from wells to the plant, replacing older city lines. City Manager Jack Forga praised the donation as beneficial and noted the need to upgrade the city’s 3 inch galvanized lines. An item on closing Carol Avenue between 17th and 19th Streets was withdrawn after neighbors objected, as the street includes prime commercial land.
