PUSSER ALSO DISCUSSED THE STATUS OF ONGOING PROJECTS INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION OF THE AMISH BUGGY LANE, SEWER INSTALLATION IN A NEW SUBDIVISION, AND UPCOMING INSTALLATION OF A.M.I. GAS AND WATER METERS. HE REPORTED THAT TVA WILL BE INCREASING ITS JANUARY FUEL ADJUSTMENT CHARGE WHICH WILL RAISE THE AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER’S POWER BILL BY FOUR PERCENT PER KILOWATT HOUR.
