Residents press trustees on sewer capacity and who may hook on after merger
Summary
At the Feb. 17 hearing residents raised questions about wastewater treatment capacity, hookup eligibility and a potential plant relocation site recently deeded to the Town for $1; officials said the plant is permitted for 1,050,000 gpd and current use is about 30% of that capacity.
Residents asked what consequences a municipal merger would have for sewer hookups and whether the Town would allow more connections or restrict them. Alice Nitka said she was concerned that "no one knows the capacity and how many other homes can be added to the system" and questioned whether the deeded land for relocation would change who can connect.
Town/Village Manager Penny Wu replied the facility is permitted for 1,050,000 gallons per day and the system is currently using about 30% of that capacity; she added the town is pursuing federal funding for a possible relocation if permitted. Chairman Bob Brandt confirmed Ludlow Economic Development deeded land to the Town for $1.00 that could be used for relocation if permitted and funded.
