Town looking for clarity, not blame, with lawsuit

The towns of Coulee Dam and Elmer City entered an agreement in 1975 defining a set of terms and procedures to treat sewage wastes. After 40 years of arguments and misunderstandings, clearly both agencies are in an impasse.

We are not a litigious agency — except but for good reason and purpose. I suppose that Elmer City feels much the same. As it is, Coulee Dam is not looking for a blame, but rather for a resolution. Through this, “we” hope that some clarity and understanding will vacate the angst and ambiguity.

Our mayor, attorney, and town council will not debate these specifics in the press … and hopefully the litigation process will find a resolution — sooner, rather than later!

As always in service – I remain,

F. Gregory Wilder

Mayor of Coulee Dam
