AVILLA â The town of Avillaâs wastewater treatment plant needs an upgrade. A consultantâs report set the estimated price tag at $2.3 million.
For that kind of money, the Avilla Town Council said Wednesday it wanted to hear from the author of the report, which could happen as soon as the councilâs next meeting set for May 19.
According to Utilities Superintendent Brian Carroll, the sewage plant went online in February 2002.
âIt hasnât been touched in 20 years,â Carroll told the council.
Several upgrades need to be made to keep the town in compliance with discharge requirements set by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Among the issues is the amount of phosphorous being removed.
Lots of new materials, Make & Take crafts for all ages and virtual and in-person programs are ready for the month of April at all three branches of the Noble County Public Library.
