KENDALLVILLE â Noble Trails will achieve a longtime goal soon in closing the gap on the Fishing Line Trail from Rimmel Road (C.R. 800N) to C.R. 450E.
Noble Trails boward member Jenna Anderson said the right of way along the former Indiana & Grand Rapids Railroad line has been acquired to build a half-mile section of the trail between the county roads. Excavation has begun on the section, which will get trail users off of the county roads and onto the safer former rail bed.
âThe trail on the rail bed is much easier to excavate and put the trail in,â Anderson said.
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.
