Water in Jamestown

Could be getting a little better soon.

The town is getting a new connection to High Point's water system that is closer to the treatment plant. So Town Manager Cookie Billings says it stands to reason that the water quality should improve a bit once the new connection is made.

What's without a doubt is that pressure in the town system will get better if they're able to retire the old water tanks, which should happen.

I know some people think tanks are awfully ugly, but I've always had a bit of a facination with them. It seems like for many smalltowns, that's the one thing up on the horizon -- the little bit of skyline -- that says "Hey, you're coming into a town." But I'm sure the people who live near the one that's going to be torn down won't mind.

Aww come on Quest. What a wasted opportunity.

Bueller? Bueller? I love that line. When I was a teacher at a community college I'd use it all the time. Rarely elicited a response though.

So I'm here. Sorry I haven't been posting much and I've been wondering how long it was going to take. Been swamped taking care of my responsibilities for the paper edition, which still, ya know, pays the bills.

And we've had lots of folks in the bureau on vacation lately. But it doesn't excuse your need for more information, does it?

I'll get you a post before I leave today and promise another tomorrow.
