West Monroe Mayor Dave Norris says funds from a recent half-cent sales tax increase are going to necessary improvements that need to be made throughout the city.
The Board of Aldermen voted on several items Tuesday night that will make improvements to the water system and sewer system.
The city hopes to place a new well that will increase water pressure and also has a company studying the sewer system for water surface water infiltration that tends to cause sewer backups during a heavy rain.
Norris said he has also been given the results of a study that was commissioned to rate the streets throughout the city and hopes to start overlaying the top priority streets soon.
