In Abilene, the City Council will consider approving a $213,000 contract for pedestrian improvements on Old Anson Road and a $255,000 replacement of chlorine scrubber equipment at the Grimes Water Treatment Plant. The New York State DEC is accepting public comments on the renewal of the SPDES permit for the Macedon Sewer Treatment Plant, which discharges into local waterways classified for recreational use.
