    Evessham Township mulls takeover of MUA
    January 7, 2010
    EVESHAM NJ. — At its Dec. 15 meeting, township council agreed to move forward with an internal study into the viability of taking over the Municipal Utilities Authority, which currently operates as a separate entity, not under the local government’s control.

    Mayor Randy Brown explained to council members that he had consulted with a third party accountant and auditor — at no expense to the township — over the MUA’s audit report. Brown offered his opinion that the MUA should be a department that operates under township management. Brown further advised that he would like a study into the viability of such a move be completed quickly in order to move forward with any such action.

    “If you dissolve the MUA, it is my belief, that you address significant municipal tax issues for at least the next three to five years at a minimum,” said Brown…… [...]

    Key sewer project gets funds for Evesham MUA
    January 5, 2010
    EVESHAM NJ. — Thanks to $3.5 million in stimulus funds, the Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority will move forward with a sewer system project it has needed for more than 20 years.

    The project, which went out to bid in mid-December, will replace the existing spray irrigation system that the EMUA currently uses to dispose of treated effluent discharge with three new infiltration basins.

    Getting the stimulus money for the project was a long and difficult process, said Rocco Maiellano, the now-former executive director of the EMUA. Maiellano retired from the post on Dec. 31 after 30 years with organization.

    The state Department of Environmental Protection distributed about $213.5 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds for sewer projects throughout the state. The DEP gave Evesham the OK to receive bids for its proposed project in mid-November…… [...]
