Middletown Proposes $430000 Sewer System Bid Plan
Middletown officials will seek bids for a complete sewerage system and treatment plant estimated at 430000. Engineers warn costs may change with deep rock. A 40 year bond at just over 3 percent would fund the project financed by a yearly water and sewer charge on each family unit. The plan would require connecting existing homes and locate the treatment plant on the Rudy farm west of Middletown near Catoctin Creek. If funded, the current tax rate could be maintained and excess revenue could retire bonds within 40 years. The public meeting raised questions on pacing and full-system installation.
