Millville moving toward ending distinction of being without sewer

By Sharalyn Hartwell

MILLVILLE -- Discussion of the new sewer facility to be put in Millville continued at the City Council meeting last week.

The project originated as an "interlocal agreement" with Nibley, said Mayor Gale Hall.

Nibley needed new sewer lines because contaminants were going into the ground water there, Hall said. Nibley is between Millville and the Logan holding ponds, Hall said, so Millville decided to contribute to the trunk lines Nibley would be adding, since it would be using them.

After initial research, Hall said, Millville discovered its eligibility for $3 million in zero-interest loans and $2 million in grants from the state because it is the largest community in the state without a sewer system. With that funding available, it was decided to add Millville's own sewer system to accommodate future population growth, Hall said.

Council member Duane Harvey presented estimated figures on the burden of the cost of the investment on each equivalent resident unit. The council discovered errors in the figures.

Other items on the agenda included the appointment of Ray Brown as a planning commissioner alternate and the appointment of Robert Bates as the Cache Valley Transit District Board of Trustee representative from Millville.

Three other names were recommended, however, Bates was the only name submitted by the Jan. 26 deadline.
