Improvements Proposed In Bond Issue For Monroe Waterworks
The Monroe city commission plans a $609,000 waterworks bond issue to upgrade a 6,000,000 gallon daily capacity high lift pump, expand DeSiard Street mains, add a service ladder truck, hire more firefighters, and install new fire run boxes. Insurance experts estimate moving Monroe to first class could save about $50,000 yearly in premiums for mercantile and related risks.
