Christopher mayor urges city to consider new sewer plant
Christopher mayor John Regis pressed the council to plan a new sewer plant as the lagoon fails to meet state standards despite IEPA corrections. A $2 million plant was first discussed in 1977, with a federal grant covering 75 percent. The council approved a $100 class for SIU Carbondale professor Owen Smith to study use of two reservoirs.
