Pomeroy Faces Financial Strain From Sewage Plant Cost
Pomeroy residents face a heavy burden if the Ohio Water Pollution Control Board approves the million dollar sewage plant project. The estimated $275 per capita cost plus interest could reach two million overall, with extra street repair and maintenance expenses. About 1100 water users would share costs including 200 for home plumbing connections and charges for areas with septic tanks. Residents recently approved a $490 000 bond for a consolidated elementary school, with first payments due December on property tax bills.
