Sewer rate increase to offset consent decree costs
About $12.9 million goes to major sewer projects like CH 27 and CH 50 plus catch basin repairs — work largely required by the EPA consent decree and paid through the sewer fund. A water main on Nela View also gets replaced.
Hampshire Road sewer project change order
Council added $671,000 to the Fabrizi contract for the Hampshire Road illicit connection controls project, citing design changes and two years of cost inflation. Work started on Mayfield Road and should wrap by spring.
