EASTON | Weeks after relinquishing control of its water operations, Easton is planning to bring management of its sewer plant back under city control. Public Services Director David Hopkins asked city council to consider hiring four new employees and ending a contract with Miller Environmental. Despite adding new employees, Hopkins said the proposal should save Easton at least $90,000 a year.
…… Miller Environmental will remove a no-competition clause from the transition contract allowing Miller employees to apply for the new positions, Hopkins said. A secretary will be the only new union position and can be bid for by members of AFSCME Local 447.
