The West Warwick Town Council held a second reading and moved forward an ordinance authorizing financing for the Townsend Regional wastewater treatment facility in an amount "not to exceed $11,150,000," read the clerk during the meeting.
The ordinance covers replacement of the ultraviolet disinfection system, upgrades to the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, rehabilitation and lining of interceptors, pump station work, replacement of the headworks grit system, emergency disinfection improvements and refurbishment of the lime silo. Council members moved and seconded the ordinance and took a roll call vote that the transcript records as affirmative.

The clerk read the full scope of work included in the ordinance; specific implementation steps, bond terms and timelines were not specified during the discussion.
