Given the major developments currently underway in New Salisbury, the Harrison County Regional Sewer District is in need funds to repair and expand the current system. Starting at the 3:30 mark, Bob Woosley outlines the scope of the project and why it is needed for the community.
Berkshire Mobile Home Park is in need of new lines and both the Apple Orchard and Kepley Fields developements cannot reach completion with the system as it is now. This is a capacity issue given the upcoming population growth in the area.
The project will be broken down into two phases:
The request for phase one is $1.4 million and will immediately take care of the capacity issue in terms of growth temporarily. It will essentially buy some time, two to three years. $250,000 of this is needed immediately.
Phase 2: Over $2 million for treatment plant expansion. This will double the size of the treatment plant and be a permanent fix for predicted population growth.
