City Plans $600000 Bond Sale For Lakewood Water System
The City of Lakewood seeks approval to issue about 690000 in revenue bonds to upgrade the water system. The plan includes building a looped distribution from Arbor Road to Cand Lewood Street and Candiewood through Pinewood, with mains 12 to 27 inches. Rainy-season boosts have reduced department revenue, prompting a projected 825000 to 830000 in water sales for the year ending June 30. A future 385000 project and 500000 in bonds remain with the Metropolitan Water District, with total bond financing of 9,159,000 already issued.
