Salisbury scores $12M to improve wastewater treatment plant

After spending $40 million on its wastewater treatment plant, the city of Salisbury has recouped $12 million of that cost to pay for necessary upgrades, WBOC-TV Channel 16 reported Thursday.

Councilwoman Laura Mitchell said it was good "we don't have to raise that $12 million out of the ratepayers' pockets." However some people around the city consider the deal to be bittersweet, calling it a moral victory but still a financial loss.
