A major water line in Caney is being replaced, after a vote by the city council during yesterday's regular session meeting.
City officials say replacing the twelve inch line from the tower, which sends water to the industrial park and east side of town, will eliminate the poor condition the current line is in, and should help the town reduce water loss significantly. City Administrator Kelley Zellner uses the example of a break during Christmas 2022 as an example on why the line needs replaced.
Zellner says engineers and water officials with the KDHE continue to examine all options to see what would be the biggest help to the town. The cost of just over $257,000 is being covered by grant funding.
