What it Means: In 2023, a study was approved by the voters to identify manholes that were contributing to an increase in storm waters infiltrating the Wastewater Treatment System. These structures are often covered with flood water causing concern about saltwater seeping in to our sewer lines, causing corrosion and adding to the volume of water – and thus the cost – of wastewater treatment. With the problem areas now identified and photographed, this request for funding will cover the design, bid, construction and associated work for the rehabilitation of approximately 22 problematic manholes.
No one spoke for or against this Article at Deliberative Session.
