After Jackson’s approval, WBCA upgrades advance
Long-planned upgrades to the Western Butler County Authority wastewater plant, detailed in an Act 537 plan document, will advance to the next stage of approvals soon.
Jackson Township, the final of four municipalities to sign off on the plans, voted unanimously to send them off on Monday.
Jackson manager Chris Rearick said that the approval was “pretty straightforward.”
“Environmentally, it addresses environmental issues that are caused by inflow and infiltration in older pipes throughout the system, and it also better ensures capacity for future residents and businesses,” Rearick said. “For us, it really wasn’t a major discussion item.”
Jackson had previously approved the Western Butler County Authority’s $64 million wastewater treatment plant upgrade at an earlier date, when it was still packaged with upgrades to the Harmony pump station.
