STANFORD - Lincoln Fiscal Court took the first step Tuesday to correct a "verbiage" error in an ordinance requiring residents with failing septic systems to hook up to sewer lines where available.
Judge-Executive Buckwheat Gilbert said when the county adopted the ordinance about eight years ago, the language mistakenly required only that residents of the Roland community get on the sewer.
On Tuesday, magistrates approved the first-reading to change the ordinance so it would require all Lincoln County residents with failing septic systems to hook up to the sewer line where it is available.
The change is needed in advance of the proposed installation of sewer service along Airport Road where it extends into Lincoln County from Junction City, Gilbert said.
