The Spring City mayor and board of commissioners took a major step last week toward bringing city water to Ideal Valley Road residents.
The commission voted unanimously to approve and submit a loan resolution to the Southeast Development Council by the Nov. 1 deadline.
Mayor Mary Sue Garrison said the Rhea County Commission had applied for a Community Development Block Grant for the project sometime ago and that the city needed to take action so the county did not give the project to the Watts Bar Utility District.
