Contractor ARRO to serve as Millheim's engineering advisor and operator support
Summary
Millheim council said ARRO will act as engineering advisor and support the borough operator, offering regional staff oversight and help with bidding, grants and legal requirements; ARRO has experience serving nearby municipalities, councilors said.
Millheim Borough reported that ARRO, the borough's contractor, will provide engineering oversight and staff support for the borough's water/wastewater plants while the borough addresses recent compliance issues.
Tammy Myers asked, "Does ARRO service other municipalities in the area?" and was told, "Yes, at least Gregg Township and Aaronsburg, they have a lot of experience." Councilors said ARRO has a regional supervisory structure and multiple employees who check on plants, and that ARRO has offered to assist the borough's operator, Jodi, with emergency issues and ongoing operations.
Council members described ARRO's role as broader than short-term staffing. "They will be the engineers of record for the borough," a meeting speaker said, and were described as advising on legal requirements, handling bidding and grants, and helping to plan future upgrades. The council said ARRO is based in State College and will act as an advisor and engineer of record while the borough develops a longer-term plan.
