News travels fast in a small town.
By now you all know that I have resigned as the city administrator. Since I have been here, we have struggled with more serious problems than any small town should be forced to deal with at any one time. We have replaced about one-third of the old water lines in the last 2 years. Two-thirds of the system is over 70 years old and must be replaced as well. Your old sewer plant is wearing out and can no longer operate within the limits of the permit that allows you to dump treated wastewater into the Yamhill River.
