Water Plans Outlined

Plans to build a new regional water treat­ment plant were on the table for dis­cus­sion dur­ing a meet­ing this week of the Lib­erty Cen­ter Vil­lage Coun­cil. An inter­gov­ern­men­tal con­sor­tium, made up of Lib­erty Cen­ter, Florida, Mal­inta and the Henry County Water and Sewer Dis­trict, went over var­i­ous options for build­ing an all-new ground or sur­face water plant. At the same time how­ever, some folks from Neapo­lis, in west­ern Lucas County, began talk­ing with Henry County offi­cials about their con­cerns such that a ground­wa­ter source could lead to dried up wells in their area. A poten­tial source for the pro­posed ground­wa­ter plant, would be an aquifer in west­ern Lucas County’s Prov­i­dence Township.
