City Commissioners in Nowata approve changes to an ordinance involving new sewers and connections.

 

The change adds a requirement for backwater device connections to stop the reverse flow of water in pipes in order to avoid contamination. City Attorney John Heskett says it's an important change.

 

Commissioners also heard reports from various department heads including police and fire, animal control, the treasurer and code enforcement officer.

 

The Nowata City Commissioners will meet again on December 1 at the Nowata Fire Department. The public is invited to attend.
