Deteriorating asbestos concrete water mains in Pine Glen Estates in Selmont will be replaced thanks to a $500,000 Community Development Block Grant announced Tuesday by the Dallas County Commission. The project will upgrade about 2,200 linear feet of failing water lines at the former Craig Air Force Base in unincorporated Selmont. Pine Glen Estates is the only area in the county still using asbestos concrete water mains, according to Courtney Cunningham, general manager of the Dallas County Water and Sewer Authority. Todd and Cindy talk about it in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
