Council postpones Canyon Way project decision over sewer capacity
Elizabeth Armando notes the February 24 appeal hearing where Colfax council members Brian West Sharon Gieras and Dave Gard voted to delay approval of the 72 unit Canyon Way apartments until the wastewater plant capacity analysis is complete. Memos allege obsolete flow meter and unverified readings, prompting worries about true capacity and health hazards if exfiltration or inflow skew readings. The council seeks a verified assessment before granting more connections amid 175 new sewer hookups since 1998.
