Belfair Housing Future Hopeful with New Wastewater Project

Mason County Commissioners have given the go ahead for engineers to move forward with phase 1 of the Belfair Wastewater Treatment Plant. The public is invited to a groundbreaking ceremony this coming Columbus Day, Monday October 12, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. at the Assembly of God Church in Belfair.

The treatment plant is being touted by Emmet Dobey, Mason County Utilities and Waste management Director as “an economic development generator”. The long awaited Belfair “Sewer” project will supposedly satisfy the Growth Management regulation and hopefully open the door for future housing development.

Work is scheduled to begin November 1.

If you’re asking how much this “Sewer” project is going to cost the consumer, then I suggest you attend the groundbreaking ceremony on Monday. Emmet Dobey plans to give us some idea on what to expect. Rumor has it that monthly rates are estimated to be about $80 to $90 per month. Hook up connections could be somewhere in the $3,000 to $4,000 range. However, the County is applying for a septic-tank conversion grant to help people with the connection fee.

Anyway, hope to see everyone at the Belfair Wastewater Ground Breaking Ceremony.

Oh by the way, Congressman Norm Dicks is planning to attend too.
