PORT ANGELES, WA – April 12, 2019 — After Sequim School Board members asked for an indefinite extension to connect Greywolf Elementary School to the Carlsborg Sewer Project, Clallam County commissioners considered whether an update of the project’s ordinance is needed instead.
Starting April 2, the permit review fee based on equivalent residential units (ERUs) for each sewer connection went from $1,500 each to $8,000 each.
For the school district, that’s a difference between $24,000 prior to April 2 for its 16 sewer lines and now $128,000 minus construction costs. Previously, school district maintenance staff estimate construction could run $200,000 to $250,000, so to connect could cost the district upward of $378,000.
