Cannonville waits on federal flood-recovery money for water projects as fire chief highlights ISO rating
October 21, 2026, 7:00 p.m. · Town Hall
The Cannonville Town Council met for 26 minutes on Oct. 21. The mayor said the town's engineers were working on a federal request for flood-related water projects, with no word yet on a first-come, first-served pool of money. The Henrieville fire chief said hydrant testing and ISO certification could lower fire insurance rates, and the water department's SCADA upgrade is delayed by a computer cabinet.
