The water woes in one Webster Parish village will soon be problems of the past.
All thanks to some grant money from the Louisiana Governor`s office.
Residents in Dixie Inn should soon see improvement in water flowing from the tap.
A nearly 250,000 dollar Community Block Grant will fund the construction of a water treatment facility for the village`s water system.
Just over a year ago a new well was dug but it isn`t being used because of the water`s odor.
It contains organic matter that can`t be treated by the existing plant.
Mayor Ava McWhorter says the grant was needed and she`s ready to see work on the new facility begin.
That should happen within the next two months.
