Public urges pause, transparency at Prescott hearing on SR 89 effluent pipeline and possible widening
Summary
At a public hearing Oct. 14, dozens of residents urged the council to delay decisions on SR 89 widening and linked wastewater centralization projects until the city releases the 15% design report, performs independent cost and origin-destination traffic analysis, and clarifies how sewer upgrades tie to voter-approval thresholds.
A second public hearing on Oct. 14 drew persistent, detailed public comment about the centralization of wastewater treatment and proposed SR 89 improvements, including alternate alignments and potential road widening. Dozens of residents urged the council to pause the project, release missing technical reports, and decouple urgent wastewater repairs from proposed widening.
Gwen Roach, public works director, opened the item noting the city held an Oct. 1 open house that drew about 130 attendees and that staff received 38 comments. She said the Oct. 14 hearing was the second required hearing under the citizen resolution (Resolution No. 2024-1876) related to the project’s 15% design concept plans.
