No city help for Oakwood

Decatur Daily Democrat:

The Oakwood Addition south of Decatur continues under a boil advisory due to major problems with its water system, but at this point there is no way the City of Decatur could or would come to the rescue.

Councilman Matt Dyer raised the matter at Tuesday night's city council meeting, asking if it would be possible for the city to provide water to the residents of Oakwood, also known as Yost Woods.

Board of Works and Safety member Bill Karbach put it succinctly: "They couldn't afford it," referring to what it would cost for the city to do so.
