Canyon City Votes on Water and Sewer Bonds for $25,000
The city council ordered a July 10 election to decide a waterworks and sewer system funded by $25,000 in bonds. Engineer Mantz detailed plans for a stand pipe, storage tanks, wells, and about 5 miles of mains and 27,200 feet of sewer lines serving most residences and the business district. Officials say bids could lower costs, with coverage extending to nineteen blocks by water and at least seventy five percent of homes by sewer.
