Advisory Water Commission Tells Council the Details of Solution Which Has Been Worked Out Relative to Safeguarding the Water Supply from Milltown Sewage Contamination.
The plans adopted tentatively by the Advisory Water Commission, of this city, in conjunction with the Milltown Sewage and Water Commission, were explained last evening to the members of Common Council, meeting as a committee of the whole.
Ex-Mayor Drury W. Cooper, William H. Benedict, Prof. A. A. Titsworth, Alfred S. March, and Eugene P. Darrow, members of the Advisory Commission, were present, and the matter was gone into at some length.
The cost to New Brunswick, it was explained, is estimated at $12,500, this amount being needed to defray the initial expense of carrying out the plan already outlined in these columns, and which contemplates the pumping of Milltown’s sewage to the trunk sewer at the Musical String factory. All of the burden of upkeep is to be shouldered by Milltown, if the plan is finally adopted by the two municipalities affected.
