Second Week - Friday's "Medfield Historical Minute"
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis.
A Medfield Historical Minute...
This "Medfield Historical Minute" is brought to you by town historian Richard DeSorgher.
A little something to read and learn to give you a little break during this time of boredom during isolation due to the Coronavirus Crisis.
A different "Medfield Historical Minute" will appear each day during the Crisis.
"In 1970 Special Town Meeting approved $4,900,000 for the building of a sewer treatment plant to be located at the end of Bridge Street along the Charles River. Federal and state aid covered $3,003,000 of that cost leaving the net cost to the Town of $1,897,000. Town Meeting also approved the purchase of 72 acres of land around the new treatment plant. On March 3, 1975 the wastewater treatment plant was completed and began operating. The town now began to look into residential tie-ins to the treatment plant with home tie-ins first for the Belknap and Longmeadow areas of town."
