MDC Sewer
Extensions
In December 2006, a
resident who lives on Orchard Lane approached the Health
Department asking that the town support a neighborhood
petition to extend the MDC sewer system to homes on the east
side of Windsor Avenue between Island Road and Orchard
Lane. After researching the resident’s request, Health
Department Director Dr. Charles Petrillo sent a letter to
the MDC voicing support for the residents’ petition. On
February 7, 2007, the town received a letter from the MDC
indicating that they have moved this project up on their
priority list of sewer projects and will be conducting a
survey of the residents in the area in order to obtain their
“feedback on the installation and assessment costs for the
sewers.” Once that feedback is obtained, the MDC will
determine whether to proceed with design, layout, assessment
and then a public hearing. I will keep Council informed as
to how this project is proceeding.
Assessment
