Background (read more HERE) ~

Pamela Russac Pres Woodland Heights Civic Association and Chuck Stirk Pres Brookland Terrace Civic Club have been dealing with flooding caused by brush and trees down in NCC Woodland Run park that has gone multiple years with out clean up . 

We believe NCC sewer lines blowback in Woodland Park directly related to flooding in NCC Woodland Run park as the NCC Sewer lines run through the park and we have multiple reports of outflow from the manholes throughout the past weeks. 

........We feel for those in Woodland Park and would like to see the issues with sewer blowback resolved before situation is similar in our communities.

More on the Proposed Special Services Oversight

The news journal has enother article on the proposed oversight committee. 

The committee could be useful, if it is made up of competent people that understand the technical issues and do not have any special agenda's or "friends" in need of special favors.

If done right, it could do what NCC Council and Government has failed to do - - - Provide openess and transparency in the very political dealings with providing sewer services.

NCC Special Services Committee Co-Chairs Want To Reinstate The NCC Department Of Special Services Board

At the June 15th Civic League meeting, a rousing conversation ensued about why the County Council is mostly rubber-stamping whatever the Executive's Department heads dictate. League Director Gary Warren reminded everyone that there was once an appointed citizen's Board to oversee the Special Services Department that provided some checks and balances.

I guess Gary has been talking to his friends on Council because the Special Services Committee co-chairs have suddenly decided to reconstitute the citizen's overisght Board:

(Newark Post) reports ~ Councilmen want to reestablish committee following Lea Eara Farms sewage treatment problems - New Castle County Councilmen William E. Powers, Jr. and Timothy Sheldon announced their intention to re-establish the NCC Department of Special Services Board, following the takeover of a waste treatment facility at Lea Eara Farms near Middletown.

Bad Bill May Open Sewer Flood Gates in New Castle County

Please read this article in the News Journal about a bill proposed in the Delaware General Assembly to allow private sewer companies, in this case Aretesian water, to build sewers without county permission.

As we have learned in SNCC, distributed piecemeal sewer ends up costing the public a lot of money and promotes excessive uncontroled growth and development.

Please call your legislator and oppose this bill, it is just bad public policy.

Bill would drop NCCo's sewer control - Artesian could build below canal
