Citizens for Affordable Sewer Rates to hold meeting tonight

Citizens for Affordable Sewer Rates will hold a meeting on the wastewater discharge permit process at 5 tonight at the Post Falls Senior Center, 1215 E. Third Ave.

The public is invited.

The grassroots group is concerned that the new standard for cleaning up the Spokane River will double or triple sewer rates and cause a building moratorium in Kootenai County.

The EPA expects to release draft wastewater discharge permits for public comment in spring 2012 for the cities of Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene and the Hayden Area Sewer Board.
