Cornwall wastewater design phase begins

CORNWALL — The West Cornwall Wastewater Treatment Plant project has reached the design phase.

WMC Engineers was given the go-ahead to begin drafting plans for the facility after the town heard back from Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on the site’s environmental review.

Cornwall expected HUD to release grant funding for the project once the environmental review was approved. HUDs requested to see facility designs before approving the review.

“That’s good news,” said First Selectman Gordon Ridgway. “The design process will be a very open process,” he added, noting that the West Cornwall Wastewater Treatment Committee will resume meeting this summer.

At a June 18 meeting, the Board of Selectmen moved to amend the grant application to include costs to design the plant.

“Things will happen this summer as opposed to waiting until fall,” said Ridgway.
