Coos Bay Considers Privatized Sewage Treatment

CCD Business Development Corp.

The City of Coos Bay, like a lot of cities, needs to update its infrastructure. 

The city's wastewater treatment plant--yep, sewage and all the rest--needs an upgrade.  Specifically, plant number two (we are not making this up) is due for replacement. 

And some city council members want to consider privatizing the wastewater treatment process, something few other cities have done. 

Andrew Sheeler covers the issue for in Coos Bay.  He joins us on the phone to unpack the story.  

UPDATE: City council meets Tuesday afternoon (September 13) for next step.
