Trumbull County to approve septic system replacement pact

WARREN — Trumbull County commissioners are expected to approve a contract Wednesday with King Brothers of Bristolville to replace 14 county septic systems at a cost of $223,150.

County officials said $180,000 of that amount is coming from federal stimulus money.

Julie Green, grants coordinator for the county’s planning commission, said the systems will cost between $15,000 and $20,000 each. Construction and other steps must be completed by Nov. 15.

The county qualified for $180,000 and had to provide a 25-percent share — $60,000. The benefiting property owners will have to repay the local share — 25 percent of the cost of their septic system — over time through their property taxes, Green said.
