The Seminole Water
Works was established with a deep well and a wind mill. The project
was established with the purpose of providing water the Seminole
Hill area along Academy Street, Iredell Avenue and West Center
Avenue. The board of commissioners gave their approval to lay water
pipes on Academy Street in 1907. Rounder-News Leader Editor Tom
McKnight recounts the story. “Mort McKnight, Gus Kipka, Moses White,
J. L. Honeycutt and S. S. Denny drilled a deep well, erected a large
tank and windmill and laid water pipes to their homes.” The citizens
of Seminole Hill worked together to make the point that they supported
the idea for a town water works. |
