Morris Council eyes belt tightening and sewer changes
The council agrees on budget cuts until finances recover. No. 4 water well in the 40 block W Washington St will shut for repairs, operating at half capacity. A rule to disconnect storm sewers from sanitary lines in the downtown Morris area is planned to meet EPA rules. Two public works workers will document addresses of those with downspouts still connected. An EPA required testing lab may be moved to the tool building to save costs. James Peterson notes potential airport study grants between Oct 1 1977 and Jan 1 1978, with interest from Rep. Tom Corcoran for funding.
