Middletown – As the city works through the early stages of building a new water treatment plant at a cost of roughly $15 million, one alderman Friday called for the city to sell all of its water assets.
Alderman Raymond DePew said Middletown could make hundreds of millions of dollars if it sold everything – its reservoirs, water treatment plant, pipes – to a private company to operate.
