At this week's Fredonia City Commission meeting, Water/Wastewater Superintendent Justin Dodd addressed the commission about his priorities for the department.

 Dodd told commissioners that training was vital to having a good department. He also says safety needs to be a priority.

Dodd also unveiled a plan to map the city's water infrastructure, stating that, in order to maintain the water department in a way that is most beneficial to residents, the city needs to know the location of underground pipes. Commissioners agreed with Dodd's vision for the water department, but noted that any changes would need to be on a suitable time table in order to fit into the city budget.
