Residents of the two sanitary districts between Globe and Miami have been asking about the Median Household Income Survey and the election that will be held in May.
Cobre Valley Sanitary District President Mary Anne Moreno says the two separate issues both have to do with the area getting a wastewater collection system. The income survey is necessary to get as much as possible of the system to be paid for with federal grants. The lower the average household income, the larger the grant may be. All information gathered in the survey is confidential.
In May voters will decide whether or not to approve the merger of the Cobre Valley Sanitary District and Pinal Sanitary District. Moreno says it’s hard to get a quorum of both boards of directors at every meeting and to have to always work with intergovernmental agreements. A merger would also simplify the process of seeking funding and writing contracts with engineering firms.
The election on May 17 would create a single sanitary district with one board of directors. The new district would be called Tri City Regional Sanitary District. It would cover the same area that Tri City Fire Department and the old Central Heights Fire District covered when they merged a few years ago.
The next public meeting of the two sanitary district boards is Thursday, February 10 at 5:pm at the Cobre Valley Country Club.
