Watertown supervisor to pitch city on sewer plan

Town of Watertown Supervisor Joel R. Bartlett is scheduled make a presentation to the Watertown City Council tonight, outlining the town’s plan to divert sewage from a main on Arsenal Street to one beneath Coffeen Street.

The city told the town last summer that it would not approve any more sewer permits for development along outer Arsenal Street until flows were diverted off of the overburdened main.

Monday night’s work session agenda also includes:

• A presentation about the city’s Local Watertown Revitalization Program draft plan.
• A proposal to increase fees for obtaining public records from the Clerk’s office.
• A proposal from a Black River man to purchase 1017 Huntington St., a vacant parcel that once housed a dilapidated apartment building until the building was razed by the city in 2003.
• A request from the North Country Goes Green Irish Parade organizers to shorten the parade route.
• And finally, an offer from FX Caprara to loan a car to the city Police Department that will be used as its DARE vehicle. Dealmaker had leased the previous DARE vehicle to the city.
