Hornell looks to improve industrial wastewater controls
The Evening Tribune
HORNELL Hornell officials want to improve the municipality s ability to deal with wastewater generated by heavy industry.
To that end, the city is applying for a $20,000 engineering planning grant to update its Water Pollution Control Plant’s industrial pre-treatment program.
The Common Council approved a pair of resolutions connected to the state grant at a special meeting Monday night, including a measure committing the city to a 20 percent match to the Department of Environmental Conservation-Environmental Facilities Corporation (DEC-EFC) funding.
The other resolution affirmed the engineering plan is a Type II action not requiring an extensive environmental review.

The Council of the Town of Greater Napanee says it intends to consider a by-law to approve the 2021 Utilities Operating and Capital Budget. This will take place during a meeting on January 12th , at 7:00 p.m. at the Selby Community Hall.
The proposed Utilities Budget includes an increase of 2.0% for municipal water and wastewater rates next year. The rate hike will result in a bi-monthly increase of $4.23 for the average residential customer.
The proposed 2021 Utilities Budget will remain debt free and will continue to provide adequate financial resources to undertake substantial capital work. User rate increases have remained consistently modest, averaging just under 2% over the last 5 years.
