City council approves water works upgrade to cut fuel use
The city council Monday approved an ordinance to equip the waterworks with electric pumping and related machinery at an estimated total cost near $4,000. An electric pump and meter are projected to cost about $2,000 with other equipment bringing the total to the upper end of $4,000, expected to save fuel and labor costs. The plan, supported by A J Darrah of Ohio Light power, anticipates monthly power costs under $200 if costs stay low, and aims to reduce water waste through metering. The measure passed with a near unanimous vote aside from an absence. An additional ordinance raised daily wages for certain city workers in the street department.
