Spring Valley Sewer Contract Talks With County Officials
A Spring Valley residents committee, Elyria officials, Assistant Prosecutor Harold Ewing, Sanitary Engineer Lester Osborne, and Elyria township trustees met county commissioners to discuss terminating the Spring Valley sewer contract next December. Ewing outlined the 1929 agreement and noted any future service charges would be set by the county board, while the commissioners signaled openness to a satisfactory adjustment and no action was taken. The city cites higher sewer system demands for cancelling the contract and earlier proposed a sewer rental objected to by residents and commissioners as excessive. Negotiations aim for an acceptable compromise.
