Sewer fees, Coos Bay, over the next 5 years will be up to $86 per month per single house account, not including the water use billing. Several Councilors want to proceed with the current plan. Start sewer plant #2, Empire, new construction, summer 2015, just three months away.
More public disclosure required, several public forums needed before anymore money is spent, and before anymore sewer fees are increased, more community and citizen envolvement in the process. Coos Bay Citizens show up at every council meeting going forward, speak your 3 minuets on your concerns of sewer fee increases, the current plan to rebuild Plant #2, cost and air quality safety concerns. These councilors work for you, tell them to put the plans, cost, on the table, and compare it with the plan offered by Dennis Beetham, of DB Western. Let the best solution be disclosed.
Are, the Coos Bay City Councilors barking up the correct wastewater solution tree? New information suggest wrong tree, wrong solution.
WOW! After 6 years barking at one tree, 7 million dollars borrowed, and several years of sewer fee increases of 6 percent per year, and a current purchase of $4.5, plus, million for a plant design, that only meets the requirement of putting less quality of pollutant in the bay, lesser than the polluted bay.
Treatment plant #2, Empire, will be the third upgrade/rebuild of plants #1 & 2 in the last 30 years. All designed putting lesser quality of pollutant in the big tub, the Bay. What's that definition of doing the same thing over again to get a different result? While never addressing the real issues.
Put Pollutants out to sea. The tub, Bay, itself has very low flow. Dumping into the bay from a “point source” sewer plant out flow with the above standard, is a problem, not a solution.
Not addressed, Viruses, Pathogens, Sludge, to be a future EPA requirements, air pollution and a regional plant. Numerous plants in a defined geography area such as Coos Bay/North Bend, rebuilding and redesigning every 10 to 15 years is insane.
Currently, the Councilor are not to impressed with this new information, or even the ideas presented here.
All new ideas take time to absorbed and to be evaluated. Continuing to spend another $28 million at the wrong tree, when a solution of $24 million is on the table is truly insane. REF: http://coosmediacenter.pegcentral.com/
