WHEELING The city of Wheeling is eyeing more improvements to its water system, as more than a half-million dollars worth of contracts are up for final consideration next week.
Wheeling City Council members will hear final readings on ordinances introduced last week for two different major purchases to be charged to the city’s water distribution fund. They’re expected to vote to approve both ordinances during the next regular meeting of Wheeling City Council on Tuesday evening.
One piece of legislation continues the city water department’s ongoing effort to install modern water meters with remote reading capabilities. Thousands of municipal water customers have already had new smart water meters installed, and there are a few thousand more to go to upgrade the entire system.

WHEELING New affordable housing developments received support from members of Wheeling City Council, who on Tuesday night applauded efforts of private investors to bring these developments to fruition.
During Tuesday night’s virtual meeting of city council, members heard the first reading of an ordinance to abandon a portion of Lane 25 right of way from the west side of Jacob Street to the east side of Lane E in South Wheeling. The property is the site of the proposed development of Woda Cooper Company’s new Carnegie Greene senior housing project.
According to Woda’s plans, the Carnegie Greene project will develop a four-story senior housing complex with 39 affordable apartment units at the site with an array of modern amenities and energy efficient appliances, along with at least 20 parking spaces.
