Town Board votes to upgrade Valcour Sewer District equipment

By John T. Ryan

The Peru Town Board conducted a workshop and special meeting on Friday, July 17, 2009 at which time the counselors authorized the issuance of bonds not to exceed $110,000 to finance the acquisition and installation of new grinder pumps and an upgrade of control equipment for the Valcour Sewer District. Supervisor Donald Covel had previously estimated that the project would result in a tax increase from $.96/M to $1.37/M. He said the rate was $1.61/M when he took office. Water and Sewer Superintendent Greg Timmons said the exiting equipment was purchased in 1985 and requires considerable maintenance. The Valcour Sewer District serves thirty-nine customers.
