Long road to repairs

SHARON — Work is continuing on repairs and expansion of the town’s sewer system.

The repairs were started this summer and are being funded through a $1.6-million combination grant and loan from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that was approved in 2006. The USDA issued $738,000 of the funds as a grant with the remaining $934,000 issued as a loan to the town.

Thanks to work coming in lower than expected on the town’s sewer project, extra work is being done to extend the town’s sewer system to the whole length of upper Main Street.

First Selectman Bob Loucks, who took office Nov. 17, did not have a timetable for when the project will be completed.
