Latest News From Our Sewer Laterals!

I attended the Basin Management Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 20. Mark Hutchinson, Deputy Director of the Resources Group in the county's Public Work's Department, filled in for Bruce Gibson on the committee, and gave a report on how our sewer lateral connections are going. Very well, as it turns out! 282 are all that are left to connect, and of that, about 85 are on a low income program that has not yet worked its way all the way through the federal agency that is funding them. So less than 200 are left to hook up! How to address this issue of the mystery non-hook-ups will be before the Board of Supes in the second week of November. That will be a meeting worth watching. I plan to tune in!
