Waterworks bond issue drives Topeka election plan
Topeka voters face a November 1 ballot on $400,000 in waterworks bonds. The city may buy the present Topeka Water Company plant or build a new municipal plant to meet fire protection and growth needs. Arguments center on condemnation rights, franchise expiration, costs to taxpayers, hydrant rentals, and the feasibility of two plants in the city. The plan includes extensive mains, dual pumping capacity, and a shift to municipal ownership with debates over existing debt and impact on rates.
