Letter to the Editor: Residents encourage sewer project support

We purchased property on the hill in 1975, and have always been concerned about sewage leaving our home, untreated, and affecting the ground/river water in this gorgeous area we call home. We’ve looked forward to the day when we could tie into the sewage treatment system, have a permanent fix, and no longer be concerned about our septic tank failing.

Will this proposal affect us - yes, hugely! - along with increased costs, our many years of landscaping - garden, fruit trees, blueberry and raspberry bushes, etc., will be adversely affected. But, we would incur very similar costs and impact if we had to replace our septic system, without the permanent fix.

We feel this will increase the saleability of our property. Please support the sewer project.

Darrel and Penny Torgrimson,
