Lorain seeks bigger grant for sewer plant expansion
Lorain plans to seek an $800000 increase to the $6 million sewer plant expansion. Engineer Earl Richards of the State Health Department said the amended grant has a better chance of approval. The extra funds would enclose the sludge aerating area to avoid proximity to downtown, possibly delaying the September construction start but keeping expansion on schedule if approved. Mayor Woodrow W. Mathna discussed the plan with Richards, who agreed. Service Director Chester A. Campbell is drafting the amendment for completion in a few days.
