Ground broken for waterline extension
Monticello — Ground was officially broken on Wednesday, December 9 for the Wayne
County Waterline Extension Project beginning at Free-dom United Baptist
Church.
Local officials, along with residents who will soon receive city water
because of the project, gathered near the church for the ceremony.
Conley Gregory Construction is the contractor for the project, and he
indicated that work should begin right after Christmas.
The project will take about six months to complete.
The project, which was funded through the state budget, will bring water
to 52 households in the area.
"This is something that means a lot to people, to see something being
done," said Monticello Utility Commission Manager Gene Jones, who was among
local officials present at the ceremony.
District Three Magistrate Dale Vaughn was also pleased to see the
project begin.
"There has been a lot of hard work that has made this possible," stated
Vaughn. "I grew up out in this district, and I'm doing everything I can to
give back to as many people as I can."
