Aman says he’s disappointed at village’s decision to opt out
WOLCOTT - When the Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority began
designing the Chapman Corners waste treatment facility in Red Creek

number of small communities in northern Wayne and Cayuga counties.
But last week, one of the municipalities, the village of Wolcott, bowed
out of the project, which went on line earlier this fall. The village
board voted 4-1 to opt out after being part of the planning process
from the beginning. Those against the plan argued it would more than
double sewer rates for some in a village where 12 percent of the
residents already can’t pay their taxes.
