What’s going on in your county

Hillburn sewer rebates fair?

May
5

Hillburn and the county are at odds over rebates that would be paid to Hillburn residents annually for 30 years. Hillburn Mayor Brian Miele said the village residents were to get the rebates – currently worth $80 per household – in return for allowing the county to build a sewage treatment plant in the village.

County Legislator Joseph Meyers wonders how fair that is considering that Hillburn will already be getting the benefits of a news sewer system that will also serve Sloatsburg.

Meyers was concerned that other sewer users in Ramapo, Clarkstown and a part of Orangetown would be subsidizing Hillburn’s rebates, and that over the years they could escalate to high figures.

What do you think?
