City discussion weighs Rankin Lake storage and river option
At a meeting attended by J. W. Atkins and Lyle Edwards a committee was proposed to study engineering surveys for expanding Rankin Lake storage. Proponents claim 400 to 500 million gallons could be stored with existing land, delaying river use, while opponents warn of high rates and financial risk if Gastonia lowers water prices. Mayor Yancey criticizes past leaders and urges voters to decide via bond approval.
