Matewan Council Focuses On Water Projects
The Matewan Town Council meeting last week focused on issues arising from the Red Jacket and Thacker water projects for which FEMA representatives say they want detailed itemizations and invoices for the project in Red Jacket. Council members say it's costing the town an average of $1,400 a day to continue pumping at the Red Jacket station, and the council approved a motion to stop the pumping until issues with FEMA can be resolved. On the other hand, the site for the Thacker tank cannot be used because the location is permitted for mining. Council members say another site will have to be selected.
