Sewer woes slow Ector County plat plans in Odessa
Odessa area faces health standards issues due to lacking sewer service. County received a 298 765 grant from the Texas Department of Commerce in January 1991 to fund a project with 246 365 construction costs and 55 400 fees. The county, not collecting sewer revenue, hesitates to cover the balance as Odessa would cover only a small financial return. Two public hearings are planned near North Ranchito within a month to gather citizen input. The court also approved grants and contracts, including 67 800 Meadows Foundation grant for the health department basement, breathalyzer testing services renewal, victim assistance funding, and Title IV-D expedited child support program agreement for 1993.
