APPLICATION PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
The Waterworks and Sewer Board of the City of Uniontown will hold a public hearing on April 2, 2024, 5:30 p.m. in the City of Uniontown Town Hall Basement to discuss the Board’s submission of an application for the Fiscal Year 2023 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Application. The Board is interested in obtaining all citizens’ input on community development needs within the county. As part of the hearing process citizens will be asked to verbally assist in the completion of a Needs Assessment document. The document will detail what the residents feel are the strengths and weaknesses of the community. The Board needs as much local participation as possible in order to reflect the true desires of the community as a whole, as well as the comments relating to the proposed project application. The State has established a maximum application request for each funding category. Activities that are eligible for funding include the improvement of public works. No displacement of persons will be proposed.
The Board is proposing as its first priority is to drill a new well, provide emergency backup generators for both wells and replace the existing radio read meters with smart meters. The second priority is to install a VFD and pressure sensors to the James Avenue water tank. Additionally, installing an additional water tank for storage and removing the City Hall water tank. The third priority is to provide inspection and maintenance for Well #7. The fourth priority is to evaluate and be able to control the water systems operation with the use of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). The last priority is to replace 3,363 linear feet of 8-inch ductile iron main that has lead joints on Water Avenue. This will eliminate the known leaks as well as eliminating the known lead within the system. The area to be addressed is within city limits of Uniontown distributing water throughout the city and to Linden. The total project cost is estimated at $5,911,306.00. All citizens, including those in the targeted area, are encouraged to attend in order to comment on the proposed activities.
For more information, or if you require special accommodation at the hearing, contact Terry Jackson @ (334) 312-4183.
