LEESBURG - Lines are being tested and pumps have been ordered.
Monday night, the Leesburg Town Council learned the Leesburg sewer project is nearing completion, and residents will be hooking up to the system within the next couple of months.
According to Joe Tierney, engineer with GRW Engineering firm, pumps should arrive Monday, and they should be installed and wired within a few days of that arrival.The line to Warsaw has been installed and tested, and the lines throughout town are being tested this week.
The pre-final inspection with Rural Development will likely be in early June, and notices for residents to connect to the system will be sent out after that, probably mid-June. The connection process will start in mid-June.
A generator for the system has been ordered and is scheduled to arrive June 1. If the system is running before that generator arrives and is installed, a temporary generator will be used until the permanent one is ready.
Residents will begin receiving a full bill once the wastewater project is complete, whether they have connected to the system or not due to rules set by Rural Development.
In other business, the council:
n Set June 13 as the date for the town garage sales.
n Announced that funds for the maintenance of Clover Parks were released Monday. Clover Park received a donation each year from the Clover Estate through the Kosciusko County Community Foundation.
