Cater stays upbeat on Nesannock sewer woes despite delays
John Cater, chairman of the Neshannock Township supervisors, remains optimistic about the new sewer system amid ongoing public complaints. He cites imperfect work but says problems are being addressed and mostly fixed by June 30 when United Construction Co. contract ends. Issues include Oakwood Way line height, reverse sewage, unfinished lawn restoration, sunken roads, and a noisy lift station with seepage. Cater blames design errors by Baker Jr. Inc. and admits inspections were inadequate while promising contractor fines for delays and urging residents to report issues before project completion.
