A lawsuit has been filed by The Bartonville Store and three other Old Town Bartonville businesses against the town. The businesses are seeking to connect to a nearby sewer line. This connection would allow them to replace their septic systems with more parking and potentially extend their operating hours.

Some residents are concerned about the potential impact on the town's character. Further details on the lawsuit and the town's response are available from the Cross Timbers Gazette. The outcome of the legal proceedings is still to be determined, and the process may take some time.
