Pineville Opens Enlarged Water System for 720 Customers
The Pineville water works, serving 720 customers, opened its expanded facilities on Route 10. Mayor Vaughn Stewart, City officials, and 16-year-old host James McDermitt welcomed about 200 attendees who toured the plant, enjoyed prizes, and learned the system now includes 350000 gallons storage, upgraded mains, and new storage tanks. The project, funded in part by a 105000 federal grant, raises rates by 10 percent but improves fire protection, supply reliability, and future growth prospects for Pineville.
