The City of Exeter in Southwest Missouri’s Barry County has received a top-priority project rating from the Missouri Clean Water Commission, it was announced recently. According to sources in Jefferson City, Exeter’s grant request of $263,250 for a sewer and water project was included in a list of some 25 requests receiving the top-priority categorization. The commission will release about $43 million in federal funds during the 1974-75 fiscal year. Voters in Exeter approved a $234,000 bond issue February 5 to finance the city sewer and water project. The bond issue actually included two proposals: A $34,000 issue to refinance the city’s current water system and a $200,000 proposal in revenue bonds for the installation of a sewage collection and disposal system. The new project will establish lines for the entire city and involve installation of a disposal lagoon southeast of the town. Exeter officials were only recently notified of a $70,000 grant approval from the state by Dr. H. R. Domke, director of the Missouri Division of Health. According to earlier reports the first grant check will be issued when 25 percent of the construction is completed, with additional checks forthcoming at specified intervals. Engineering representatives have set early August as a possible time for letting a contract on the project. The new Exeter sewer system has been in the works since about 1960. No increase in taxes is planned but a monthly service charge for use of the new facility will be levied, probably about $4. Consulting engineers for the project are Allgeier, Martin and Associates of Joplin.
