Middleton Township residents walked out of a meeting Thursday morning feeling the sewer plan for their neighborhood and decision making process both stink.
"You can all kiss this as I walk out," Willie Barfield told the Northwestern Water and Sewer District Board as he left the room.
"This is a dog and pony show," Mike Bills said as he walked out.
The residents were reacting to a decision by the district board to put a low pressure sewer system on Five Point Road and West River Road, with grinder pumps at all 56 homes along the line. They were also angered by the board's decision making process.
The meeting began with residents being given three minutes each to comment on the proposed sewer project. All the residents who spoke favored either a gravity sewer system or a combination of gravity and grinder pumps.
After public comment, the district engineer, Bill Barber presented his recommendation to the board - that they go with the least expensive option of an entirely low pressure system with grinder pumps at every home - not an option supported by residents at the meeting.
