Aware of money

WARREN

The Trumbull County assistant sanitary engineer says his department was not caught unaware that it will be asked to provide some of the money to upgrade the Youngstown wastewater treatment plant.

“We knew that was in the works,” Scott Verner said after the regular Trumbull County commissioners meeting Wednesday.

Trumbull County’s sanitary engineer’s office is responsible for 4.4 percent of the cost of the upgrades because waste from part of Liberty Township flows into Youngstown’s treatment plant.

Verner said his department is aware that treatment plants in Youngstown, Niles, Howland and Girard are due for upgrades.

Trumbull County will most likely finance its cost for the upgrades for the same length of time as Youngstown does, Verner said.
