West Frankfort approves stricter water service safeguards amid cost concerns
West Frankfort mayor and council push a new ordinance requiring renters to show picture ID and a credit check and homeowners to prove ownership to obtain water service. Renters face a $90 hook up, homeowners $30, with landlords liable for unpaid bills after enactment. Commissioner Browning and others criticized the plan as unfair while officials cite rising city water bills. The council also backs plans to replace the aging sewage plant and cites campground losses as a reason to close Old City Lake campsites, with debt and maintenance costs cited as key factors.
