Elizabethton Is Getting Extra Money To Help Fund A Water Loss Reduction Project. A 450-Thousand Dollar Community Development Block Grant Has Been Given To Fix The City’s Old Water System. It Dates Back To The 1920’s, And Over The Years Has Lost Significant Amounts Of Water. It’s Estimated That The City Is Losing About Half A Gallon Of Water For Every One Gallon That’s Pumped. The Water Loss Reduction Program Will Replace Old Water Lines.
