The Marion County Board of Supervisors have responded to the recent withdrawal by the Central Iowa Water Association from the proposed Attica-Pershing Wastewater Project.

The board states they plan to “take the proactive steps necessary in examining all options to assist the residents of these communities moving forward.”

In a letter sent this week to Marion County Attorney Ed Bull, an attorney for the CIWA says while the board of directors found this a difficult decision to make, the project suffered through countless delays including those resulting from a lawsuit filed by Cee Cee Farms to prevent access to their property.

As a result, the CIWA feels “it no longer appears feasible for the project to be completed within the timelines required to receive the project funding.”
