As the Town continues our pursuit of grant funding for the Wickham Sewer District, we need the public’s assistance. In the coming days, we will send out confidential household income surveys to residents of the Wickham Sewer District (Kings Estates, Wickham Village, Wickham Knolls area). The household income survey will allow us to use specific income data related only to the sewer district users and is a required element to a successful grant application. Unfortunately, the Wickham Sewer treatment plant is 40 years old and requires millions of dollars’ worth necessary upgrades and if we are unsuccessful in obtaining grant funding, the sewer district residents will have to foot the bill for the upgrades. We are doing everything we can to avoid added costs for the residents of the district and your help is required. You will receive a notice in the mail over the next week or so asking for the number of people in your household and the total combined income of that household. You may either follow the link / QR code on the mailer to complete the confidential survey online or you may mail the survey back in the envelope provided. We are required to obtain survey data on at least 40% of the total households in the district. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions: supervisor@townofwarwick.org or by calling 845-986-1120, ext. 4.
