Authority hires lawyer for water contracts

The authority also unanimously approved Tuesday night a contract in the amount of $61,920 to Keith Hayes Construction for work done at the department’s new building off of Highway 211 at the site of the old Holsenbeck Fire Station. Director Myron Garrett gave the board an update on the work already done, which includes installed HVAC, hot water heater, bathroom sinks, bookshelves, stained doors and paint. The building is still awaiting flooring. WASA Chairman Stan Coley said he had been twice to the new location and was “quite pleased with the quality of workmanship that is being done.”
