Bond Street area residents in the Bunker No 2 district push for a new sewer project similar to the South Hills system. City Manager W R Bennett says the city could fund about 10 000 of the 50 000 estimated cost with local labor and bonds not needed. The plan envisions 2900 feet of line serving 27 homes at roughly 370 per customer, with a larger future expansion to Kennison Burke and Summerlee Central avenues. The council asked WV Water Service Co to install fire plugs as a safety measure for the area.
