cleaning the brash off the top of it cleaning and replacing the collection pipes and some valve work” Stringham said Millville is also planning on constructing a gallon storage tank in order to bring the water pressure Truck dumps grocery load in Logan River and emergency storage up to legal standards upgrade the distribution system and develop the city’s water rights “There’s a little too much

for the city's current needs A larger pump would also be installed on one of Millville’s two wells allowing the city to take advantage of water rights it isn’t using If the bonds are approved
