City council eyes metropolitan sewer plan for New Castle area
City council on Monday endorsed preliminary steps toward a metropolitan sewer system to serve New Castle, South New Castle Boro, Neshannock, Shenango, Union and Taylor townships. Revenue bonds would fund construction, repaid by user fees, reducing health hazards and aligning with modern suburban growth. The plan covers about 83 000 residents, roughly 75 percent of the county, and mirrors Pittsburgh’s approach to joint sewers.
