Sewer Extension to Northeast Winchester by Year End
Dr. William P. McGuire told the Women's Civic League luncheon that Winchester's expanded sewer system in the northeast will be finished this year at about 1 million dollars. He cited completed garbage collection upgrades, planned door-to-door pickups, Grade A pasteurized milk rules, and mandatory health tests for 1600 food handlers as steps toward public health. The water system sources Shawnee Old Town Rouss and Lugar Fay Farm now supply about 4.35 million gallons daily, with projections to rise to 4.45 million in peak use, prompting a future need for a larger supply.
