Public Meeting #2
The Sabine River Authority, Cities of Greenville, Caddo Mills, and Quinlan, as well as Cash Special Utility District, and Caddo Basin Special Utility District are jointly participating in a study, partially funded by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to identify technically feasible options for a centralized wastewater collection and treatment system to meet the wastewater treatment needs within the study area and to avoid the proliferation of new septic systems in the study area.
As part of the initial phase of the study, a public meeting was conducted on January 16,, 2007 to present to the project stakeholders a description of the study objectives, technical approach and schedule. In the weeks following Public Meeting #1, background information including population projections, existing and planned service area boundaries, and proposed developments in the service area, etc. was gathered from the study participants, potential customers of the regional sewer system and existing water/wastewater service providers in the study area. At the second public meeting, the following items will be discussed:
- Population and wastewater flow projections for utility service providers in the study area and estimated wastewater flows by sewer shed.
- Potential locations of regional wastewater treatment facilities and regulatory and discharge permit considerations for each potential location.
- Description of the concepts for providing centralized wastewater collection and treatment service to the study area to evaluated in further detail by the project team.
The primary purpose of this meeting is to discuss the alternatives that will be studied in greater detail and receive comments from the study participants, water/wastewater service providers in the study area and general public. The Sabine River Authority and other study participants believe that the open exchange of ideas and the active involvement of the public and water and sewer service providers in the study area are crucial to achieving a meaningful outcome of the study.
