The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors voted on Wednesday, November 6, to loan the Middlesex Water Authority (MWA) $226,270 to hire a consultant and acquire waterline easements.
The proposed Eastern Middlesex Water System, designed to provide drinking water to areas in the central and eastern ends of Middlesex County, will be financed by USDA loans. The MWA, however, is waiting on easement acquisitions, required by USDA, before the loan process can be completed, said MWA chair Greg Chambers.
