City hosts open houses on wastewater treatment project

By Reader Staff

As City Hall continues to move forward with the effort to reconstruct Sandpoint’s ailing wastewater treatment plant, the public is invited to a series of open houses, which will take place every other Thursday through March.

The next installment in the series is happening Thursday, Feb. 20 from noon-1 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall (1123 W. Lake St.), and focus on inflow and infiltration.

Following that, open houses are scheduled for the same time and place on Thursdays, March 6 and March 20, focused on the first and second parts of the facility plan, respectively.

“This is an opportunity for residents, businesses and stakeholders to gain insight into the project’s progress, goals and impact on the community,” city officials stated. “City staff will be available to provide updates and answer questions.”
