Sewage Project Planned for Bibb Ave Area
More than 530 Bibb Avenue families will benefit from a $9,906 sewage project as Beckley plans installation within six weeks. Mayor Cecil L. Miller, chair of the Sanitary Board, outlined a dual purpose pump to lift sewage about 34 feet to a manhole behind Meyers Avenue. The pump costs $3,700 and the project funding will come largely from tapping fees on nearby properties.
