The Newtown Water and Sewer Authority voted to approve a resolution to bond for $2.8 million to pay th costs for planning, design, acquisition, construction and installation of sewers along Route 6 to serve the Hawleyville area west of Whipporwill Hill Road to Splending Place and along Route 25 to serve a section of Covered Bridge Road.
The proposed sewer project is intended to help attract economic development in a commercially-zoned area off Interstate 84. Town leaders have given their nod of approval, and with this latest acceptance the project will now go to a town meeting on Thursday for a vote.
The 20-year bonds for this project will be paid through benefit assessments by the users.
A special town meeting to vote on the project is scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Municipal Center at Fairfield Hills.
