With years of effort and an unknown amount of money poured into the Northlands sewer project, the outlook is not looking positive.
It is time for the city leaders to focus on needs in the older part of the city. Remember where the tax money comes from? It has been about two years since a water and sewer assessment was added to our utility bills for infrastructure improvement. So far only repairs have been done as usual. It was my understanding that old sewer and water lines were going to be replaced.
Every time I look at my utility bill it raises the question of when the work will begin on water and sewer line replacement. When this question came up in the last Walsenburg City Council meeting, the answer was that replacement will begin in the older section of town near Colorado and Pennsylvania streets. The new committees formed with citizen participation are said to be a key to laying out the strategy. Let's go! After charging for this project for two years, it's time for action.
When the new utility lines are installed, we can begin repairing and resurfacing our streets which are deteriorating daily. There is a lot of work to be done and the sooner we get started the sooner we can enjoy the improvements.
