County Court to discuss water system issues
Miss Nancy Fowler of the Southwestern Water District will appear before Taylor County Court on Wednesday to report problems with the new water system in operation since March 1. A large amount of water seems to bypass consumers, suggesting meter issues. The contractor Kenneth M. Dunn Co. is still responsible and workmen checked lines last week. The system serves about 1,000 users including West Virginia Best Corp's tomato facilities at Flemington. The system is not using all contracted water and no extra lines are needed for WVB's planned greenhouse expansion.
