Firm Purchases
Dillwyn Bonds
For Sewer, Water
Bids For Work
To Be Advertised,
Mayor Reports

A Lynchburg financial firm,
Scott. Horner, Mason, Inc. pur-
chased the $4,000 bond issue OF
Dillwyn for new water and sew
erage system. The bonds were sold
Wednesday at p. m. with a net
interest cost to the town of 3.67
per cent, according to j. r. Snod-
dy. Jr., mayor.
Work will start on the water and
sewerage system for Dillwyn as
soon as bids can be advertised for
the project. Mr.. Snoddy said. The
work will be advertised right away.
The town will use small
springfield reservoir built by a
cannery no longer in operation
and will erect a standpipe. Water
and sewer lines will be installed
and a sewage disposal plant will
be built.
There is no general water and
sewer system in Dillwyn now.
Voters approved a $4,000 bond
issue in 1851. but work was de-
layed when it was discovered the
town charter made no provision
for sewer system construction. The
bonds were approved again after
the General Assembly approved
the charter.
Springs for the reservoir were
checked during the dry spell. and
the supply Of water was found to
be adequate to serve the towns
more than 600 residents, Mr..
Snoddy said.
The system will also serve a new
elementary school to open in jan
uary
Repayment of the bonds will be
from water and sewer service
revenues.
