Council accepts Ohio Township Park sewer extension for town maintenance

The Town of Newburgh accepted a sanitary sewer extension built near the Ohio Township Fire Station for town maintenance after engineering and sewer department staff certified the work met testing and applicable requirements.
Town Engineer Drew Flamian described the project as 220 linear feet of 8‑inch sanitary main extension and approximately 820 linear feet of sanitary sewer laterals serving a maintenance building and a public restroom near Lebert and Van Road. Flamein said the work “passed all testing and met all applicable requirements” and recommended the town accept the extension for maintenance. Flamian said the total project cost estimate was $75,000.
Formal action: A motion to accept the final acceptance recommendation for the Ohio Township Park sanitary sewer extension was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: Acceptance transfers maintenance responsibility to the town. Officials said testing was completed and the extension serves park utility buildings and a restroom.
Next steps: The town will add the new sewer main and laterals to its maintenance inventory and proceed with routine operations.
