The Town of Pratt's
water system could soon be defunct, its customers new customers of West
Virginia American Water.
The company unveiled their plan to Kanawha County
Commissioners and members of the Pratt Board Monday. They would spend a
collective $3 million on the project: $1.8 million for pipeline upgrades, $437,000
to purchase the water system and another $400,000 to upgrade the system.
It is up to the estimated 500 homeowners in Pratt to vote on
the new plan. If they vote in support of American Waters plan, work will begin
in May to lay 9,100 feet of new pipe from Charleston
to Pratt.
