    General Manager

    A 14-year oversight in a waste water treatment agreement will be corrected in 2009, as the City of Eminence will increase waste water treatment rates for the City of Pleasureville.

    Pleasureville, however, has said it will not pass that rate increase along to its customers.

    The agreement was signed in 1994 between the two cities, and initially was subject to review every two years. That review process fell through the cracks.

  • Thanks to local support, exercise was a success

    The full scale exercise at Safety-Kleen on Oct. 4 was very successful and involved all emergency personnel including Fire/Rescue departments, EMS, Sheriff’s Office, KSP and Coroner’s office with employees of the plant acting as victims of an explosion.

Both events had good media coverage by the Henry County Local.

  • I’m thankful for ... tofu pumpkin pie?

    It started kind of innocently.

    I was rolling right along in the kitchen one Thanksgiving a couple of years ago, and was working on the pumpkin pie.

    “It was not an easy decision. The biggest factor in my resignation was my family,” said Drawbaugh, who is married and has a 16-month-old daughter. “I will miss working with the kids. The team will be fine, though.”
