Fairfax Council Eyes Talks Over Fairfax-Cedar Rapids Sewer Line
Fairfax leaders plan to renew negotiations with farmer James McCormick after he blocks an 2300 foot easement for an 864000 dollar sewer project funded largely by state and federal grants. Officials warned condemning the land could forfeit aid though the DEQ urged replacing the sewer system to avoid fines. The council reserved the option of a special meeting if talks fail.
