Sewage pumped from township station; Unity Township/Crabtree feasibility study shows encouraging numbers
Summary
Supervisors reported that sewage was pumped from the township pumping station to avoid downstream interceptor issues and heard a preliminary feasibility update on the Unity Township Municipal Authority Crabtree project, with favorable numbers and a slight anticipated increase in consultant invoices.
Board members reported that sewage has been pumped from the township pumping station for the past two days as a precaution to prevent additional flow into downstream interceptors in White Valley, which are experiencing problems; FTMSA took responsibility for handling the pumped flow.
Supervisor Kerry Jobe briefed the board on the Unity Township Municipal Authority Crabtree sewage preliminary feasibility study. He said the study has produced promising numbers and that continuing the service area to the top-of-service (identified as area number 6 in the presentation) does not increase per-household costs; running lines further is effectively a cost-neutral change. Jobe noted there will be a modest increase in invoices from the consultant Morris Knowles because of the additional work involved and said a PowerPoint presentation will be available once final figures are compiled.
The minutes record the board approved a preliminary feasibility study and that staff expect final numbers and a formal presentation at a later date; no formal funding decision for construction or a connection agreement was recorded at the meeting.
