Sun Garden Weighs Sewers After Survey
Sun Garden residents show over 16 percent favor a sewer system replacing septic tanks and cesspools. The Sun Garden Association and West Orange County Property Owners Association plan annexation to Garden Grove or Midway City districts if sewers win favor, bypassing a new sanitary district. A 75 percent signatory threshold and petition would precede merger, with no election under this plan. Directors aim to meet February 20 to summarize findings.
