Lyerly Nixes Water Offer
By KAY ABBOTT
Staff Writer
Lyerly Mayor Danny
Wyatt revealed a pr(irosal by
the City of Summerville to pur
chase the entire Lyerly water
system at the October Council
meeting Tuesday evening.
In discussing the matter
with Wyatt, Summerville City
Manager Grady McCalmon
suggested that Lyerly and
Summerville engineers could
each appraise the system
before the city maf(,es a
monetary offer.
Mayor Wyatt told the coun
cil that he considered the pro
posal, but indicated that keep
ing the city's own water
system would be in Lyerly's
best interests.
“If we sold the water
system, that would just about
be it for Lyerly as a city,"
Wyatt said. “The water depart
ment is our main source of in
come for other services.
Without it, the town would be
gone."
“BARGAINING"”
According to City Clerk
Gwen Bentley, the city's water
service is an essential
‘“bargaining tool" in obtaining
state and federal grants for
town improvements, such as
the proposed addition to the ci
ty water system. ,
‘“‘Before you can be a le%al
government, a town has to be
able to furnish so many of the
citizens’ needs,” she said.
“Without the water system, we
would not provide enough ser
vices to be a government.”
In the only official action of
the meetin%. the Council voted
unanimously to donate SIOO to
the Lyerly School Harvest
Festival to be held Saturday
evening.
Mayor Wyatt read a letter
from an Alabama Avenue resi
dent askin% for driveway
repairs. William Anderson
vo?unteered to contact the
county commissioner about the
matter. Wyatt had also con
tacted the commissioner about
the repairs several months
earlier.
Mayor Wyatt reported
plans to meet with engineer
Herbert Barnum this morning
to inspect Tolliver Springs as
a possible source of water for
the city. The city plans to pur

sue a grant to expand its water
supply. Purpose of the project
is to become an independent
water system and avoid
payments of up to $2,000 per
month for water from the Sum
merville system.
Several members of the |
GBI Crime Control Unit made \
a surprise inspection of Lierly
police procedures last week, ac- |
cording to the mayor. Several ‘
recommendations were made,
including better record-keeping |
and the addition of a tpolice file |
cabinet and other office items |
for city hall. The GBI agents
were complimentary of Police l
Chief Joe Gentry in their |
report.
The Council discussed |
several persons as nominees for
fire chief. No action was taken.
The Council agreed that the ci
ty needs to purchase some tfie
of vacuum cleaner for city hall.
The Council also discussed
aresident’s request for a street
light on Cemetery Road. The
city now pays $245 per month
to operate its 23 streetlights.
