Millsboro referendum needed to fund TCE clean-up (DE)
The Delaware Wave, leading our unofficial competition for coolest newspaper name, reports:
The town [of Millsboro] has scheduled a referendum to authorize the issuance of bonds to help fund the removal of trichloroethylene (TCE)-- a contaminant detected in the town's water supply last year.
The town's resolution states the Delaware State Revolving Fund will lend the town $200,000 for 20 years at an interest rate that will not exceed 62.5 percent of the municipal bond yield. According to town officials, TCE removal has cost approximately $200,000 up to this point and that figure doesn't include some of the on-going tests.
The referendum is scheduled to take place at the Millsboro Town Hall on Saturday, May 13 from 1 to 7 p.m. Voters do not have to pre-register to participate.
Millsboro residents that are 18 years of age and individuals that live outside of town limits but have interests in town, such as a business or property, will have one vote each.
