Paulsboro OKs emergency payment for water‑main repairs; Solvay settlement cited for treatment plant funding
Summary
Council approved emergency payment related to a water main break and heard borough engineers report an emergency interconnection with Gibbstown; council minutes record a Solvay settlement request (approx. $10 million) and DEP's view that Solvay could fund a new Summit Avenue water treatment plant.
Council members on June 9 approved an emergency payment related to a water main break at Route 44 and Delaware Street and heard Borough Engineer Erik Briemann outline upcoming water system work. The engineer requested partial payment for repairs on Delaware Street and Swedesboro Avenue and said an emergency interconnection project with Gibbstown is slated to occur before NJDOT repaves Route 44.
Solicitor Maley summarized the Solvay settlement request (minutes record the figure as $10 million) and noted the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection believes Solvay could fund construction of a new water treatment plant on Summit Avenue. Briemann flagged USDA and EDA contract and bonding requirements for that project; the minutes indicate DEP's position but do not record final commitments from any external funder.
