Government Friday, March 18, 2011 Akron Mayor will fight sewer decision Don Plusquellic says he'll wait and appeal a final ruling rather than fighting three civil cases. Story by ANNA STAVER |

Akron’s mayor Don Plusquellic says he’ll put the responsibility on a federal judge to drastically hike Akron’s water rates.
Plusquellic’s angry reaction came at a press conference today (Friday) , the day after U.S. District Judge John Adams rejected an agreement between the city and the U.S. EPA on how to keep about two billion gallons of sewage a year from overflowing into area rivers and canals.
By canceling the agreement, the judge says three lengthy and expensive civil trials will take place starting May 31. But Plusquellic says he’s not going to get into a fight with a federal judge. |
Plusquellic says the city already reached an agreement with the EPA for an eightteen year cleanup, a time frame the judge rejected as too long and too dependent on future agreements. But the mayor says speeding things and increasing the restrictions will cost taxpayers more than one billion dollars, compared to the 370-million called for by the city’s plan.
Plusquellic says the city will now shift focus to building two new treatment facilities.
The mayor says if he can get permits from Ohio’s EPA, the new facilities will solve about fifty percent of the city’s sewage problem.
