While the move should have been the final piece of the decade-long puzzle to establish a connection between the two communities, officials said this week that wastewater may not begin actually flowing from Hopkinton to Milford for a few more months. The agreement between the towns allows sewage from the South Street business corridor in Hopkinton to be processed in Milford. Lonza Biologics Corp., the Swiss biotech company, is the main beneficiary of the increased sewage capacity. But a few weeks ago when officials from each town dug a hole to check the sewer lines, they found that the pipes didn't exactly line up. In fact, there was about a two- to three-foot difference in the depth of the pipes. Now, even though the original plan was to have the connection done by this fall, the pipe depth issue must be fixed and a metering station to measure the amount of flow from Hopkinton to Milford must be installed, according to Hopkinton engineer Dave Daltorio. http://www.wbjournal.com/news47251.html Brandon Butler Web Only Thu, 02 Sep 2010 0:00:00 EDT http://www.wbjournal.com/news44650.html Vital stats on the community of Wayland. http://www.wbjournal.com/news44650.html Web Only Wed, 01 Sep 2010 0:00:00 EDT http://www.wbjournal.com/news47237.html The Worcester-based VNA Care Network & Hospice has elected Linda F.
