Moravia Eyes Water Pump and Fire Station Plan
Moravia residents weigh water system upgrades and a new fire station. Fundraising for a deep well pump could lower costs and enable a local water supply with hydrants around the square. Fire station plans include a concrete block building with double doors and space for a city water truck. Financial mechanics allow donors to deduct water costs, potentially attracting investors. Moravia also screens a local coach for military service as holidays ease.
