The township will have a public meeting with Mahoning County officials to address residents’ questions about a new sewer system.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. April 12 after the 5 p.m. trustees’ meeting, at the township government building, 3339 Dobbins Road. Representatives of the Mahoning County Board of Health and the Sanitary Engineers Office will attend.

Last month, construction began on the South Struthers Interceptor Sewer, which will serve Poland Township and take water to the wastewater plant on Struthers Road.

New areas along Struthers and Kennedy roads will have access to sewer service, but that isn’t making all residents happy.

Mike Sanko of Arrel-Smith Road voiced his concern at the March 8 trustees meeting about the costs to tap into the sewer system.

“Why should I have to tie in the system?” he asked. “We spent thousands of dollars putting in our septic system.”
