Sewer meeting on the Wednesday

On Wednesday the city council will have their regular meeting at 6PM at the Community Center. Following that, at 7PM, the council will be hosting a public input meeting regarding upgrades and repairs to the city's sewer system. If you are a Roland resident, you should have gotten a mailing on the topic.

HERE it is on the city's website.

No decisions will be made at the meeting. The purpose is to gather citizen input. For now, costs are estimated from 600,000 to 2.1 million dollars, spread out over many years.

So there will be a presentation surrounding the options, and then time for questions and input. The council is tasked with making a pretty expensive decision coming up. We want to make sure the public is given the opportunity to offer their insight to help us make the right decision for Roland.

After the meeting, you can sit around and watch dirty movies. (remote video of some of our worst sewer lines). That is not going to be part of the official presentation, but if you want to see what the inside of a sewer line looks like, we are going to show it.

  1. Roland, like Boone and other communities have no options but to update their sewer lines and system. your water and sewer rates will go up dramatically. The government will fine you if you don't, and but will work with you if you are working on it and showing good faith progress. that's what happened in Boone, $30 water bill with $60 sewer is common now.
