Wastewater Information at October 16th Selectboard Meeting
Improving wastewater systems in Jericho’s Village Centers is key to Jericho’s Town Plan, to create walkable neighborhoods, to enable more options for housing, and to protect water quality and health.
On Thursday, October 16th the Selectboard will consider approving financing for a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) which will help us understand how a municipal wastewater system in the Riverside Flats area could be accomplished. The PER will provide estimated construction costs, funding options available to the town, suitable locations for system components, connection options, and other important details, to help Jericho decide if this project should be pursued.
The PER is the next step in a process the Selectboard started with a Feasibility Study that was completed in Spring 2025 (read study summary) . The PER should be complete by Spring 2026. The PER will be a public process to help Jericho understand options, make informed decisions about local investments, meet state requirements for future funding, and preserve our town’s choices into the future.
