Middletown advances water plant replacement work; hires engineering firm and schedules income survey
Summary
The council authorized mailing an income survey to determine OCRA grant eligibility for the water plant replacement and voted 4–1 to hire Butler Fairman Seufert to produce a Preliminary Engineering Report to support an SRF application.
Middletown — At its Sept. 16 meeting the Middletown Town Council took two steps forward on the Water Plant Replacement Project: a consultant described an income-survey letter for residents that will determine potential OCRA grant eligibility, and the council hired an engineering firm to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for submission to the State Revolving Fund.
Donna and Kent Anderson of Kenna Consulting told the council they will mail an income-survey letter to a random sample of residents; the minutes state the survey's results will determine whether Middletown qualifies for an OCRA grant. The minutes do not record a cost for that income survey.
Separately, the council voted 4–1 to hire Butler Fairman Seufert to prepare a PER for the Water Plant Replacement Project. Bill Harrison moved the hire and Shelly Kimmerling seconded; Betty Riley cast the sole dissenting vote. The minutes note the PER will be submitted to the State Revolving Fund by the end of the year but do not list a contract amount for the firm.
These steps are procedural prerequisites to secure funding; the income-survey outcome will determine grant eligibility and the PER is required for SRF consideration. The council did not set additional details or a public comment period for the grant application timeline in the recorded minutes.
