Residents of the North Canon area are being urged to attend another public informational meeting this Friday night, March 2nd, on the proposed North Canon Sewer project. Since the last meeting in December residents were asked to return signed contracts indicating their interest in being part of the project. Fremont Sanitation District Manager George Medaris said a number of contracts were received in the last two days and in fact contracts are still being accepted. Medaris said it appears there are a sufficient number of signed contracts to establish a boundary area with over fifty percent of residents within those boundaries are in favor of the project.
A newsletter with a copy of the map with proposed boundaries was mailed to North Canon residents last week. That map will be discussed in detail at Friday evening's meeting. Residents will hear about the probabilities of securing the necessary grants and loans for the project now estimated to cost about $1.8 million. The map shows several blocks of private properties where homeowners have not indicated an interest in becoming part of the project. Medaris says its important that those residents understand that if the project moves forward without them, the day could come in a few years when they might be forced to hook into sanitary sewer when their septics fail and if they live within 400 feet of the new sewer line. If that happens those residents would have to pay full hookup costs and would not have the benefit of cost savings shared by other residents through the grants and loans.
The informational meeting is set for 7 until 9 p.m. Friday evening, March 2nd at the Skyline Elementary School. Any North Canon residents who have questions about the proposed sewer project are urged to attend the meeting.
