City leaders have decided to purchase the materials necessary to extend sewer lines down to the Gaineswood, Silverwood and Key Allegro residential subdivisions-- south of the city (Barnwell area). Tap and other connection fees for neighborhood area residents are still being worked out.
A competing private sewer company--Baldwin County Sewer Service-- has the Planning and Zoning Commission's permission to serve these neighborhoods as well, but needs the City's permission to cross HWY 181 (per a previous agreement) to provide the service.
The City has also decided to show pertinent sewer system operational records to BCSS--on condition of a strict confidentiality agreement--so the company can move forward with its proposal to make a firm offer to purchase the City's entire system.
Councilman Kingrea: "Right now, I'm against it; but they might make us an offer we can't refuse."
The City's Sewer and Water systems chronically operate in the red.
