According to DeWitt Township Supervisor Milton J. King, the bond sale is being arranged by attorneys and construction will begin when this procedure is completed. He said the contract was being awarded to DeWitt Excavating of Flint. "We'll be putting in almost 19 miles of sewer line," explained King. "This picks up all the major resi­ dential areas. We have others but they're a little out of reach to make it feasible at this time."
