JASPER, Tenn. — City leaders say Jasper must resolve the city’s sewage problems whether or not Marion County goes ahead with plans to build a regional wastewater treatment plant.
In expectation of the county receiving a $250,000 Community Development Block Grant, Jasper aldermen voted at their February meeting to split the money with South Pittsburg.
Jasper could apply its share to the regional wastewater plant, if that goes forward, or toward a local sewage solution.
