The Milford Review - Milford LIVE!

COUNCIL from page 1
The Committee is scheduled to meet on the second and fourth
Wednesday of each month and is focusing on developing recommendations
for the implementation of the Action Plan contained in the
City’s Economic Development Strategy.
A resolution of the Planning Commission was presented to the
Council recommending the City Council of Milford to approve an
extension of a preliminary major subdivision for CCM-Koelig LLC
at Route 1 and Johnson Road for a 205 lot, 205 subdivision to be
known as Wickersham (Tax Map 3-30-16.00-5.00). The primary reason
for the extension was said to be that progress on the development
was put on hold because the City hadn’t yet finalized an overall sewer
and water plan for the area. The Wickersham Preliminary Major Subdivision
Extension was unanimously approved.
An update on the Sewer System Evaluation Study (SSES) was presented
to the Council last night. The project aimed at finding high
priority project recommendations for the City’s sewer infrastructure.
The recommended areas for moving forward with repairs on the system
has a projected cost of $3,000,000 with a projected annual savings
of $68,000. The goal for the repairs is to remove ground water
and storm water from entering the sewer. The City of Milford pays
Kent County to treat in the system per gallon. David Baird, City
Manager stated that last year “there was $1,000,000 of water that
present that did not need to be treated. The recommended repairs will
result in saving that will be in the form of credit from Kent County.
The Council voted unanimous to approve the recommended $3 million
dollar update presented.
