The Rainsville City Council on Monday night approved improvements to the cityâs Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Rainsville Councilman Derek Rosson said the various upgrades, which will include pipes and manholes, are in support of the plant running more efficiently.
The council approved the installment of five Manhole Extensions for the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
âThereâs a lot of manholes that the seals need to be put in and raised up due to all the rain weâve been receiving the last couple of weeks,â said Rosson. âWe are going to go ahead and fix those five for sure, and I think they are roughly about $5,000 to $7,000.â

In a Wednesday conference call with Alabama House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter, R-Rainsville, and Dist. 8 State Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, Community Affairs Director Carolyn Bern and Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) Area 5 Administrator Mary Gomillion gave an update on local rollout of new vaccines over the past month to halt the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.
Gomillion, who works in DeKalb County, said ADPH administered 882 doses this week through Wednesday, including 512 at a Jan. 18 drive-through vaccine clinic at the Northeast Alabama Agri-Business Center. Doses were given to people 75 and older who waited in line, inside the cars, after healthcare workers and first responders were served. Those people will return in four weeks for the second dose. Another 300 appointments were scheduled through Friday.

RAINSVILLE An illegal winery that law enforcement officials are saying may be the biggest seen in Alabama was discovered at the Rainsville Waste Water Treatment Plant in DeKalb County. Authorities said the winery appears to have been in operation at the sewage treatment plant for a long time.
DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Weldon said that on Thursday, December 17, at approximately 3 p.m., DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office investigators and narcotics unit agents uncovered a large illegal winery while following up on a tip.
“Earlier today, an anonymous tip was received stating that a possible illegal alcohol operation was taking place at a City of Rainsville municipal building,” Weldon said.
