No Further Sewer Line Push By Marion Developer
Marion Verhille states he will not push city council to extend sanitary sewer lines for Cedar Rapids Engineering Co. project. He warns the council that compromises were rejected and notes a $144,230 city cost with potential $107,900 hook-up revenue, predicting a net $36,000 investment and $200,000 yearly regional income if completed. He cites benefits to Linn Mar schools and local taxing bodies and says earlier no votes likely cost Marion taxpayers hundreds of thousands annually.
