Commissioners approve amendment for Midvale Estates sewer expansion allowing backfill deviation with developer indemnification

Sep 14, 2026

The board approved Amendment No. 1 to the Midvale Estates Phase 3 sewer expansion agreement, permitting a deviation from trench backfill requirements while requiring the developer to accept continuing responsibility and indemnify the county for future roadway or drainage defects.

The full story

Michael Jones, the county Sanitary Engineer, told the board that "Midvale Estates is expanding their mobile home park to accommodate 48 more homes." He explained the developer asked to deviate from the plan specifications for trench backfill, and the amendment establishes the developer's continuing responsibility and indemnification obligations for any roadway settlement, pavement failure, drainage deficiencies or related defects that may arise from the expansion process.
