The Mayor reported on the progress being made by the contractor installing utility water lines in this area. The water line up Bryson Hollow Rd. has been completed and water is now flowing in those lines. Although, the contractor has been hampered by a lot of cold and snowy days this year, they have been able to make considerable progress laying the lines up Hurricane Creed Rd. Hopefully, with the coming of more spring-like weather progress will quicken and water will be flowing in all the lines this summer.
