Winchester Sewer Plan Aimed at Industrial Waste
The discussion outlines Winchester’s sewer upgrade to address polluted Abrams Creek. A new treatment plant along Arams Creek near Rouss Spring with 2.4 million gallons daily capacity will handle industrial wastes, plus a six million gallon trunk sewer. Estimated costs total $390,000 with additional extensions and contingencies. funding relies on bonds over 30 years at about 2 percent interest. Existing sewer and water revenues could offset the burden, but tax rates may rise from 18 to 25 cents to cover the project.
