At a recent board meeting for the Northwestern Water & Sewer District, final, detailed approval was given for the merger between the district and the village of McComb.
According to Northwestern Water Sewer District President Jerry Greiner, “We have green lights all the way around now, and we officially took over McComb July 27th, 2016.”
This acquisition by the District allows the village to get a much needed wastewater plant upgrade, as well as allowing the village to now receive attention and repairs to its water distribution system. Greiner states “The basic monitoring, attention, maintenance, and upgrades can now be folded into the District’s everyday operations schedule, which should really help the folks in the village.”
The Village of McComb has approximately 700 users including its independent village school system. Another important user is Hearthside Foods, a regional cookie factory, which has approximately 1600 employees.
