The ballots will be counted at a special meeting of the SLCWD January 14, 10 AM at the district offices in Serene Lakes.
There's a new sewage plant coming to Donner Summit
There's no choice in the matter.
- The State demands better processing of effluent into the Yuba River.
The old plant, built in the 1980's and subsequently "adjusted" never met expectations with its unproven technology.
There is no further capacity in the current plant and there are many undeveloped lots in Soda Springs and Serene Lakes.
A new plant will use world wide proven technology and meet the State's requirements.
The new plant will meet coming State requirements.
