Simpson Road closer to getting New Site water

A grant and loan application will soon be sent to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management for extending the New Site Water department’s reach.

Jeff Harrison, an engineer with CDG, was at Monday’s New Site Council meeting to explain options of how the $1.1 million project to extend water to residents of Deer Trail, Simpson Road and Old Dutch Road could be financed, especially with the unknown of material prices that seem to be rising by the day. When first considered by the New Site Town Council 18 months ago, the project was estimated at approximately $850,000.
