During a recent city government meeting, concerns were raised regarding ongoing infrastructure projects, particularly the replacement of water and sewer lines. Residents expressed frustration over the city’s decision to pave streets that are scheduled for future excavation, arguing that it is illogical to invest in paving when the roads will soon be disrupted for utility work.

One resident highlighted the issue of existing sewer taps that remain in place even after new lines are installed, suggesting that the city is not efficiently managing its resources. The resident pointed out that many properties still have access to old sewer lines, which complicates the current infrastructure upgrades.

Additionally, the resident noted the inconvenience caused by recent street cuts, emphasizing the need for better planning to minimize disruption. They mentioned a specific instance of a water leak that persisted for a month, indicating a lack of timely response from city officials. The resident called attention to multiple leaks in the Millville area that have gone unaddressed for several months, raising concerns about the city’s maintenance of its water infrastructure.

The discussions reflect a growing frustration among residents regarding the city’s handling of infrastructure improvements and the need for a more coordinated approach to utility management and street maintenance.
