Northwest water infrastructure: tank and second well
Summary
Milford is building a 300,000-gallon water tower at the Milford Corporate Center and investigating a second well there, because wells 15 and 16 in southeast Milford aren't producing enough. With 400-500 new homes coming online each year, council members pushed for a citywide water usage master plan covering both quantity and quality.
