Hampton to ask voters in March for wastewater plant upgrade funding
Summary
A Public Works presenter said a March warrant article will seek funds to upgrade Hampton's wastewater plant, which treats about 2.5 million gallons daily and relies on aging equipment including pumps, thickeners and control systems.
A Public Works presenter said the town will seek voter approval in March for funds to upgrade the Hampton Wastewater Treatment Plant. "In March, there will be a warrant article to approve funds for upgrades at the wastewater treatment plant," the presenter said.
The presenter described the plant as a daily treatment facility handling about 2,500,000 gallons of wastewater and stressed that several support systems and more than 100 pieces of equipment must function reliably to protect public health and the local tidal creek that receives treated effluent. Town staff cited aging pumps, gravity thickeners more than 30 years old, and an outdated SCADA control system as reasons for the funding request. The warrant article is the next procedural step; the presenter closed by encouraging viewers to watch for the March ballot item.
