Blue water pipe lies in a row waiting to be installed along north Kaufman St. The crew that has been replacing lines throughout town is now working primarily north of Main St. As the waterline improvement project draws to a close, Mount Vernon’s City Council began its next step toward making improvements. The council hired Southwest Securities as financial advisor for a future street improvement bond. See the Feb. 17 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald for more details on the plan.
