Rural Water District Seeks Expansion to West Fork Grand River

On Wednesday, the Worth County Public Water Supply District filed a petition in Circuit Court seeking enlargement under Missouri Statute 247.030(3)(4). 

The described land is as follows:

Beginning at the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 33, Township 67 North, Range 32 West, thence south to the Southwest Corner of the Northeast quarter of the Southeast quarter of Section 4, Township 66 North, Range 32 West; thence east to the Southeast corner of the Northeast quarter of the Southeast quarter of Section 4, Township 66 North, Range 32 West. Thence south to the middle of the West Fork of the Grand River; thence in the middle of the West Fork of the Grand River south to where said river intersects with the south boundary of Section 21, Township 66 North, Range 32 West; thence east to the Southeast corner of Section 22, Township 66 North, Range 32 West; thence North to the Southeast Corner of Section 34, Township 67 North, Range 32 West; thence West to the place of beginning.

The petitioners are seeking this enlargement because there is not presently available to persons using and/or owning land in the above described area which is to be annexed, a public water source. The only source of water is currently from the West Fork and individual wells and cisterns. 

Petitioners include all members of the Board of Directors of Public Water Supply District No. 1 of Worth County along with five or more voters or landowners within the territory proposed to be annexed.

All five Rural Water District board members signed the petition. They are Steve Combs, Ted Findley, Ron Nicholson, Jared Findley, and Keith Lambert. They are being represented by Janet Wake Larison.
