Although 2013 started off as a slow year for the Webster County Water District (WCWD), things turned around over the last four months of the year. In September, October, November and December the plant produced more water in 2013 than it did in 2012.

At last week’s monthly water board meeting, Water District Assistant Superintendant Robert Schindley reported that in December the plant produced 28,470,000 gallons of water, which is 767,200 more than in December 2012. That pushed the yearly total 1,812,335 gallons higher than the previous year.

“The mayor is not going to be here,” Little told the other commissioners. “I don’t know too much about what’s going on, but I’ll try to do the best I can.”
