Lack of Sewer Funding Delays Omaha Development
PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) – A lack of drainage infrastructure is blocking progress and growth in one of the few places still available for development in Omaha’s metropolitan area.
The Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/2oXKpG1 ) reports that the Legislature on Thursday will debate state Sen. Sue Crawford’s bill aimed at making it easier to pay for a sewer system that would be built in stages and eventually cost $220 million.
The bill would allow cities and villages to form a public agency with a county to manage an entire region’s sewer system.
There’s a push for legislation as Sarpy County prepares for the construction of a freeway, which would cross the southern portion of the county that currently lacks sewers.
The first phase of sewage work would begin in 2019 should the bill pass.
