Three public hearings dominated a three-hour-long Alexandria City Council meeting Monday night. So many people packed into City Hall that extra chairs had to be brought in.

Eight residents raised questions about a massive $8 million waterline extension project the city is doing over a three-year period as part of its phase 4 orderly annexation agreement with Alexandria Township.

Other public hearings were held to talk about major improvements to Thomas Drive, a troublesome road prone to flooding, and complete reconstruction projects on two downtown city parking lots.

See Wednesday's Echo Press for complete coverage of the hearings.
