TESI Receives Approval From Milton Town Council for Land Transfer
November 28 2018 - 1:49PM
Tidewater Environmental Services, Inc. (TESI) announced a
land deal approved by the Milton Town Council that will enable TESI
to build a new wastewater treatment plant off Sam Lucas Road in
Milton, DE. The Town of Milton has deeded 5 acres to TESI
with construction of the new plant to begin in about one year.
The existing wastewater treatment plant and sewer system was
acquired by TESI in 2007 through a public private partnership.
Working together, the Town and TESI have been able to support
growth plans, protect tax payers and fulfill the needs of proposed
developments over the last 11 years. Mayor Ted Kanakos commented,
“After 11 years of continuous negotiations, we are finally moving
forward with increased services in the Town of Milton. This
is a win-win for everyone. The Milton Town Council is pleased that
Tidewater Environmental Services is moving forward to relocate off
the Broadkill River.”
It is now necessary to update the plant’s technology as a result
of new nutrient removal requirements issued by the Department of
Natural Resources and Environmental Control. The new
requirements include specific limitations for nitrogen and
phosphorous levels. When completed, the new plant will comply with
regulatory requirements, provide greater operational efficiencies,
and accommodate future growth of Milton’s service area. The
existing plant, located on Front Street, will be demolished once
the new plant is operational. The Front Street tract will be
returned to the Town for future beneficial uses.
TESI President, Jerry Esposito said “We look forward to
continuing to support Milton’s growth plan as well as complying
with new regulatory requirements with the new plant. Additionally,
Milton will be able to use the property on Front Street to better
serve its residents.”
TESI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Middlesex Water Company
(NASDAQ:MSEX), was established in 2005 and provides regulated
