CORRECTION:

As the result of a reporting error, a candidate profile for council member Finis Brewer in the Sept. 25 issue of the Stone County Leader stated incorrectly how portable pumps were delivered to the Mountain View water intake plant during a water outage in January.

After a search for replacement pumps, city employees Bobby Lawrence, Dustin Long and Evan Wood took delivery of the pumps and transported them back to the city’s water intake.
