another agency?
Mr. Wicker discussed inter -local agreements with cities, which
involves the county paying for the project up front and then
turning the project over to the city.
In further discussion of sanitary districts, Mr. Wicker
pointed out that the elections for sanitary districts are on a
cycle with city elections. There has to be 518 of the freeholders
in a specified district signing the petition requesting a sanitary
district.
Mr. Lundy said if the county is planning to get into the sewer
distribution lines and treatment, the project at the lake area is
a good opportunity to start a base, and it is probably the best way
to get into the water and sewer business in the county.
In this particular project that is being considered in the
lake area, there is just one property owner at this time. The
project would be built in phases. Commissioner Madison inquired
about a spray field of 400 acres, and did it have to be contiguous
to the area it was serving.
Chairman Haire inquired about how to deal with the issue of
the property owners whose property joins the spray field. Would
the property be devaluated because of the spray field? Would it be
detrimental to the health of the residents? What is the legal
liability?
Mr. Lundy said the spray field requires a 200' minimum setback
from adjoining property lines.
Chairman Haire inquired which is the more environmentally
perfect, the land or water disposal?
The work session was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. The regular
meeting is to begin at 6:00 p.m., in the County Commissioners,
Room, Iredell County Government Center, 200 South Center Street,
Statesville, NC.
