The Riley County commissioners on Thursday approved a resolution determining a treatment lagoon project at the Bridgeview Heights sewer benefit district to be not feasible.
Deputy County Counselor Craig Cox says the sewer district was created in June 2017 and the commission at that time authorized construction of a multi-residential lagoon. Now, the property owners qualify for a private sanitation system which would make the current project obsolete.
“Now each property owner will have their own on site sanitary system on their property,” said Cox,” I’m asking the commission to make the determination that the lagoon system is no longer feasible.”
Cox mentioned that according to a sewer district statute, the commission has the power at any point during the project, to find the project no longer feasible.
