update schedule for the district formation process this fall will also be discussed at that <br /> <br /> time. <br /> METRO CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> The possibility of connecting a Coburg wastewater collection system to the system <br /> serving Eugene and Springfield (the Metropolitan Wastewater Management <br /> Commission, MWMC) has been a continuing question for Coburg. Previous reviews of <br /> <br /> this possibility have determined that, for one reason or the other, it was not practical. As <br /> <br /> the cost of Coburg's own system changes, the MWMC option deserves to be re- <br /> examined closely. The question has recently been asked again by decision makers <br /> grappling with MWMC's own expansion needs and impacts to rate payers. <br /> State funding has been offered for a more detailed study of the MWMC option. It <br /> appears there is support among the governing bodies of MWMC for completing the <br /> <br /> study. In the mean time the project team will continue to work toward completing <br /> Coburg's independent treatment system while keeping the MWMC option open. <br /> City of Coburg Sewer Status Report Page 5 of 5 7/1/2004 <br /> _ _ <br /> <br />
