The Mt. Pleasant Township Municipal Authority's board of directors recently announced it will assume control of the Shupes Run sewage area from township officials.

At the authority's recent meeting, board President Charles Naggy said it would take about 30 days for the assets to transfer to the authority.

Assets include two pump stations and all of the lines in the project, which covers parts of the township just across the border from Mt. Pleasant Borough, including areas such as Slope Hill Road and Low, Shaft and Bridgeport streets.

With the authority taking on Shupes Run, there should be no noticeable changes except for the employees running the pump stations, and the tap-in fees going forward for new connections will be $2,200, Naggy said.

Authority solicitor Les Mlakar said the township, the municipality and Mt. Pleasant Borough will need to come to an agreement regarding fees borough officials have talked about instituting due to emergency repairs at its treatment plant earlier this year.

During the meeting, the board also voted to keep monthly meetings on the fourth Tuesday of each month for 2015, with the exception of November and December due to the holidays.

Those two meetings will be held on the third Tuesday of the month.

Township resident Greg Krynicky addressed the board again regarding its response to a complaint he previously filed in connection with damages he claims were caused to a property he owns in Calumet during construction of sewage lines.

Krynicky told the board he submitted new photographs of the purported damages on the property.

Mlakar told Krynicky he had assessed the damage at $200, which Krynicky did not find acceptable, he said. Mlakar informed him that the case was closed, and if he had a problem with it to file suit against the board.
