Show Water Line Condition Discussed in Tropic TROPIC Several property owners whose property lies outside Tropic's city limits were present ta Tropic's monthly city council meeting. Discussion centered on the condition of the culinary lines which service out-of-town areas, some of which do not meet the city's specifications for such lines. The council decided that no additional hook-ups will be permitted until the lines have been brought up to meet the city's requirements. The decision appeared to be acceptable to land owners present. Council members also agreed to withhold 25 percent of the amount billed the city by Hurricane Sand and Gravel for work performed in paving several city streets. The work was performed Independently of the HUD Community Block Grant under which approximately 15 blocks were paved. The council will retain 25 percent until tests are completed on samples of the pacing material and inspections conducted by competent and impartial inspectors. |
