We have no water, as far as a water line,” city Public Works director Trent Perkins said. He said the extension is for “future city developments” and indicated businessmen Rick Koch and B.G. Biscoe are starting separate property developments in that area. “I think it’d be efficient for the city if we loop that system and have that water in place,” Perkins said. “It’s going to help you have water there at all times.” •Please see Increase, Page 3 New medical marijuana dispensary grand opening this weekend Randy Spicer II Interstate 40 and south of Hydro outside City Editor of city limits.
