POINT PLEASANT — Plans for the City of Point Pleasant’s sewer project continue to progress.

During Tuesday’s council meeting, R.F. Stein, city attorney, discussed Sewer Ordinance 16-13. He said that he is currently working to amend to the ordinance in order to correct the previous 16-13A ordinance.

According to City Clerk Amber Tatterson, the 16-13 ordinance sites a section of the West Virginia code, which gives authority to municipalities for the operation of a sewer system, while 16-13A pertains to a public service district. Since the City of Point Pleasant will operate the sewer system, they fall under the 16-13 ordinance, which is why Stein is working on an amendment.

In other business:
