Manchester Officials Discuss Sewage Plans With No Federal Aid
A Manchester town meeting heard from engineer John E. Wright of Sieco Inc noting that state or federal demands for a secondary sewage plant are likely.

West reported the current plant runs near capacity and is 99.9 percent effective, with potential need for a larger system if a new plant is built.
