On second thought, commission board rethinks

Members of Oconee’s sewer policy board consider a discussion valuable in deciding whether the Joint Regional Sewer Authority would benefit by adopting a policy that would reserve sewer treatment capacity for large developments. In the end, Seneca member Scott Moulder withdrew a motion to adopt and it was decided to assign further discussion of such a policy at a committee level. Westminster’s Scott Parris and Kevin Bronson gave their concerns and opposition to a policy that could hamstring the JRSA if it reserved a percentage of treatment capacity for a development that, for one reason or another, failed to materialize.  Bronson was outspoken in his belief that JRSA should not create a policy that would benefit future developers at the expense of current ratepayers.  He describes a current climate of no shortage of development countywide.
