Committee flags water, sewer and right-of-way issues as key infrastructure priorities
Summary
Members noted water and sewer challenges and clarified that recent connections carry fees; dust-mitigation water permitting was cited as a $150/month fee and rumors of free hookups were refuted by staff.
Speakers raised water and sewer as major infrastructure priorities. The moderator clarified that current water-permit practices have fees and that prior dust-mitigation permitting had created confusion; the moderator said, "Our current fee on that is a $150 a month." The group discussed code-based schedules for sewer and connection charges.
Discussion expanded to right-of-way, sidewalks and bike-path needs. Attendees noted that connection fees now apply by meter size and use-type and that past reports about free connections were rumors tied to older permitting practices. The committee agreed to fold infrastructure priorities into later policy and goal development.
