Construction of the surge basin for the Sperryville sewer plant will be delayed until winter under a new schedule adopted by the Water and Sewer Authority last Thursday.
Engineer John Orr presented the WSA members with two options, one to contract separately for the actual tank and plumbing parts and the other to seek a general contractor for the entire project.
