Sandstone sewer project in Jeopardy in Summers County
The Summers County Commission explored whether Meadow Creek Public Service District would operate the Sandstone Sewer Project after Hinton received a 739 000 Small Cities Block Grant for a Sandstone sewage plant serving 40 customers. The plant may not be operated if no utility takes over, risking grant return and future water extensions while Meadow Creek shows interest but PSD needs its own upgrade and higher rates.
