The sewer system for Cooks Corner is under construction, but the future of sewer in Middlesex is uncertain due to rising costs.
Cooks Corner was chosen as the first place to install sewer when a major revitalization was planned for the area around the current Middlesex County Public School Board offices. The plan was backed by state grant money for a restaurant, brewery pub and moving a historic building across General Puller Highway (Route 33). The plan dissolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Recently, crews from Tidewater Utility Construction Inc. of Suffolk laid sewer lines that will connect to the planned apartments and school board and Middlesex Social Services offices.
