Sewer Plan Details Released At Leesburg
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
LEESBURG - With the completion of its facilities plan, the town of Leesburg is one step closer to conducting a public hearing on the sewer project.
The plan calls for homeowners to pay a $2,000 connection fee and to pay the costs of running a line from their homes to the main line. This option will result in a $66 monthly sewer fee for homeowners.
The town needs the facilities plan to apply for grants such as the Build Indiana Fund, which would lower project costs.
Councilman Steve Rodgers said his goal is to get the monthly sewer fee in the $20-$30 range.
The town will be sending letters to residents whose property is being considered for the treatment plant.
After the letters are sent, the facilities plan will be on display at the town hall, First National Bank and the Leesburg Mill so residents may review it before the hearing.
The date of the hearing has not been determined. It will be advertised in the Times-Union at least two weeks before the hearing.
In other business, council renewed its contract for trash pickup with Borden Waste-Away, Goshen. The town will pay $18,080.40 - a 4 percent increase - for trash removal in 1997. [[In-content Ad]]
