Developers, residents press Centerton council over sewer capacity; Decatur mayor outlines plant upgrades
Summary
Developers and residents urged the Centerton City Council to press Centerton Utilities for clearer timelines and flow-monitoring data after capacity limits stalled new projects; Decatur Mayor Bob Tharpe told the council Decatur is expanding its plant and expects increased permitted capacity this winter.
Centerton developers and residents pressed the Centerton City Council on Aug. 12 for clearer timelines and public reporting from Centerton Utilities about sewer capacity and flow monitoring, saying lack of measurable milestones has stalled projects.
The hearing began with Skip Anderson, owner of Anderson Custom Homes, who told the council he has repeatedly asked Centerton Utilities for concrete time frames. "They will not on their minutes, when they're talking about each section, they won't give you any time frames about when anything is going to be accomplished or how long they anticipate anything to take," Anderson said during public comment. He said a project of his near the water towers — 51 lots with mixed housing and seven commercial lots — has been “completely stuck” by the utility’s capacity requirements.
