Coos Bay Nixes Privatizing Wastewater

CCD Business Development Corp.

Well, that was fast.  One week after the election, the Coos Bay City Council voted to move ahead with replacing its worn out sewage treatment (wastewater) plant. 

The council had been deadlocked before the election over a plan to allow a private company to operate a new plant. 

Andrew Sheeler of The World in Coos Bay was part of the team covering the issue (and taking abuse from the players over his reporting).  He joins us once again to update wastewater and other issues in his coastal town.
