The Summerville City Council Monday night rejected the bids submitted for sewer work on Scoggins and Ramey streets in it's regular monthly meeting Monday night.

The lowest bid of $520,000 was $120,000 more than the city had budgeted for the work. City Manager Russell Thompson has been authorized to seek new bids for the project.

The city also agreed to submit a request for funding to add more gas customers. Farms with a total of four chicken houses in Floyd County are interested in converting to gas. A few months ago the city added five farms in the Texas Valley area with chicken houses to the gas system.
