City plans water rent drive along Cavetown Pike
The city intends to pursue court proceedings to compel about sixty residents along Cavetown Pike to pay water rents or stop using water. The move seeks to offset a $600 annual revenue loss and a $45,000 departmental deficit that would otherwise require a levy. From 1881 to 1906 some landowners had free rights to water via the water main, and after a 1906 second main was laid they continued using water without charges despite earlier agreements. The state now owns the Pike right of way, and the city may again press for rents or legal action.
