36‑unit project delayed after inspector cites missing permits and safety hazards

WPCA members discussed safety and permit problems at a proposed 36‑unit development near the school. The chair said the building inspector was "horrified" by open ditches near a playground and that the developer agreed to dig back and remediate the site and provide sanitation taps to sanitize lines. The authority said the building inspector will not issue a permit until the WPCA signs a final commitment and the developer submits updated drawings addressing utility and hydrant placement.

The authority reported it had drafted a commitment letter to supply water and sewer to the project, but the letter remained unsigned and will likely be revised after Bridal Utilities and Western Samson (entities referenced in the transcript) review plan changes. Members insisted that the WPCA will not sign any commitment until drawings are corrected and approved by all agencies.
