Water woes and council urged for city improvements
Clarksburg notes praise for the water department amid calls for upgrades as the West Fork plant supplies ample water but distribution is fragile. Officials fear the pink slip and rising insurance if adequate works are not pursued, while citizens seek reliable supply and lower risk of outages. Local political chatter favors Hubbard or Dovener for Congress, with editorials endorsing strong integrity and capability. Authorities also address saloon liquor enforcement, cannon vandalism in railroad park, and a push for grass planting in the park.
