Indiana County Commissioners today approved the purchase of land for an alternative sewer system project.
That project will be in the Fulton Run area and LuAnn Zak of the Indiana County Office of Planning and Development said the project is necessary. She said it was not fiscally possible to extend sewer lines out there and personal sewage systems are starting to fail.
The commissioners approved spending $6,745 for the land for the water treatment tank and for the permanent sewage right-of-way. The project’s design phase is nearly complete, and when the land acquisition is finalized, the project will be put out for bid. Zak hopes the project will start in late spring or early summer and wrap up by the end of the year.
In other business, the commissioners had two proclamations today. One proclaimed March as Women’s History Month in Indiana County, and the other recognized this week as Pennsylvania 4-H week in Indiana County. As part of that, students in 4-H were in audience taking a look at how Government works.
