Scott provided us with an overview of the Sanitation/Sewer infrastructure and process in the county. Scott explained the co-operation between the public sector and private business working together to maintain this facility and share costs.
The facilities are definitely up-to-date and we are well positioned for the future to handle additional services. It was a very informative presentation followed by a great Q & A session.
