Council authorized the township manager to execute an engineering retainer (not‑to‑exceed about $400,000) as part of a $3.6 million project to convert the wastewater plant from wet‑sludge hauling to a dry processing system, which staff said will reduce hauling costs and pay back in roughly 10 years.
