Members of the East Shore Corporation are working toward the establishment of an East Shore Conservancy District to better deal with sewage issues in that area of Culver.
In August, a request was made to pump-and-haul waste from the East Shore Corporation’s failed wetland disbursement system north of 18th Road to be treated in the town’s wastewater system. The council agreed to a contract where Utility Superintendent Bob Porter can accept or reject each load of wastewater brought into the town’s system. It will be an eight-cent-per-gallon charge payable by the East Shore Corporation. A maximum load amount per day is also included in the agreement.
More than 100,000 gallons of sewage has been treated thus far in the town’s wastewater system.
Last month, a committee was formed to help negotiate the area toward an East Shore Conservancy District where the plan is to officially hook into the Culver Wastewater Treatment Plant. The 107 homes affected would be encouraged to hook up to the wastewater system, which could take place in 2020.
The Corporation recently published a petition toward the first phase.
A committee meeting is set for Tuesday, Oct. 8. at 5:30 p.m. ET at the Culver Town Hall for further planning.
