In a called meeting Thursday, the town of Trion approved a bid for an industrial waterline; agreed to bid out the purchase of a new fire truck; and okayed emergency repairs at the wastewater treatment plant.

The council accepted a bid by Griffin Brothers Inc., of Marysville, Ga. of almost $376,000 for the waterline that will go down First Street. The majority of the cost will be paid by an ARC grant.

The council also approved emergency repairs at the wastewater treatment plant to alleviate the motors shutting down in the five return sludge pumps, in an effort to alleviate the possibility of an accidental spill at the plant. The cost of the work is estimated to be around $183,000. 

The council will meet again in its regular monthly meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 25, at the Town Hall.
