Council discusses sewer pump-out cost change; tables proposed code amendment pending DEQ-funded rate study
Summary
Council discussed a proposal to amend city code so property owners pay sewer pump-out costs, heard that Idaho Rural Water Association will perform a DEQ-funded rate study, and voted to table the amendment.
Council considered amending Harrison City Code 7-2-14F to shift responsibility for sewer pump-out expenses to property owners. Mayor Wanda Irish reported that Shelley Roberts of the Idaho Rural Water Association will conduct a rate study, funded by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The rate-study arrangement was the primary new procedural detail offered during the discussion.
Joe Cornell moved to table the proposed code amendment; Josephine Prophet seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. The council’s action paused consideration of any ordinance change until the rate study provides analysis and a future council discussion. The minutes do not record further public testimony on the proposal.
