Landowner Protest Falls Short

The Seeley Lake Sewer cleared another hurdle this week as the protest period came to a close Dec. 18. Landowners had until the close of the business day to file their written protest against the proposed Levy of Special Assessment.

Approximately 42 percent of landowners attempted to protest. The district rejected about two percent of those protests. The rejected protests didn’t change the outcome of the protest.

The failure of the protest means the district is now authorized to sell $5.79 million in bonds to match their existing grants for the construction of the proposed wastewater treatment plant and Phase 1 of the collection system.

There is a board meeting at 5:15 p.m. Thursday Dec. 21 at the Missoula County Satellite Office, 3360 Highway 83 where it is expected the board will vote to proceed to the next steps of the project.

For more information about the proposal and submitted protests visit http://www.seeleysewer.org. A full report on the protest as well as coverage from the meeting will appear in the Dec. 28 issue of the Pathfinder.
