CCUA Wastewater Plant Overhaul
Summary
The Utilities Authority is midway through a phased upgrade of its Bridgeton treatment plant — clarifiers, aeration, blowers, pump stations, and a new generator — totaling roughly $28 million, with millions forgiven through the state revolving fund. Big ticket item: the $10 million Glass Street pump station with new force mains under the Cohansey River, paid from the authority's general fund. Officials stress no big rate hikes — sewer increases held to 1%.
