Representatives from the Logan County Sewer District have reported it has fielded questions from area residents regarding activity in the area of the U.S. Route 33 corridor in Eastern Logan County, which they stated relates to a Sanitary Sewer System Study to evaluate and construct a new wastewater treatment plant.
The Logan County Sewer District currently owns and operates a small wastewater facility that serves a small portion of the U.S. 33 Corridor, and this facility is at the end of its operational life.
The Sewer District has secured the services of Jones & Henry Engineers to evaluate the design and construction of a new wastewater treatment plant, along with the services of Choice One Engineering to evaluate expanding the sanitary sewer service to include the areas of Middleburg and East Liberty.
The objectives of expanding the sanitary sewer service into previously unsewered areas is to address surface and ground water quality that is impacted by failing onsite sewer systems and to promote economic development in these areas, representatives said.
As part of this study, residents may observe activity in these areas related to the extensive survey work needed. The activities may include the marking of utilities using marking paint or flags.
At the completion of the study, the Sewer District will conduct meetings with township officials and residents in these areas to present its findings.
