After seven years of dedicated efforts, New Cumberland’s water project should see completion before the snow flies. City Council was informed at Monday’s meeting that the project is currently 34 % complete with phase 2 expected to complete by November 24.
Residents of Still Street and Brickyard Bend can also rest easier after they learned their properties will be included in the project. Mayor Will White told those in attendance that while the area was not included in the original project, the City was working to get the $115,000.00 necessary to bring the water lines to the area. He said the Hancock County Commission has provided $40,000.00 towards the cost and the City will be able to use funding from the American Recovery Project if necessary. Council learned that the project will not need to be bid out for the additional work, but will be able to submit a change order.
