SUMMIT TWP — Township residents will have an opportunity next Thursday to get a firsthand look at the township's plans to build a sewage system that will serve hundreds of residents and businesses when completed in 2025 at an estimated cost of $16 million.

Maps of the areas where sewage service will be provided and the treatment plant will be on display during a meeting at 7 p.m. July 29 in the Herman Fire Hall at 789 Herman Road.

Members of the township sewer authority, township engineers and representatives of agencies that can assist residents with low- and moderate-income pay with the $6,000 tap-in fee will attend the meeting, said Dave Barry, sewer authority chairman.

“It's going to be a very informative meeting for everybody,” Barry said. “All are welcome.”

The township sent post cards about the meeting to all residents, posted information about the meeting on its website and will advertise it on the marquis outside of the fire station, he said.
