You may remember we extensively followed the story of Jerico Springs and its sewer fight.

Many people in that village didn't want a sewer system due to the high cost for such a small community.

Some people in Grovespring, in Wright County, say they saw that report, and believe they're following almost an identical path.

Grovespring lies just south of Lebanon. It's a small community. So small in fact, that Grovespring lost its status as an incorporated village years ago when it failed to pay its charter fees. It's a place where almost everyone says hi to one another. Well at least up until a few months ago. That's when the great sewer debate began to tear apart friendships.

Gery Nelson says, "We're not against cleaning up the sewage. We're just against the highway they're trying to take us down."

Nelson is leading the charge against a proposed sewer system. He says the plan is too big for such a small community. And much like in Jerico Springs, Nelson believes the cost per household will be higher than predicted, since 14 of the 100 properties set to pay into this sewer system are now abandoned.

Nelson adds, "We're skeptical of their figures."

Greg Still is one of the five board members heading up this water district. He says the district polled people on this project, and approximately 70 percent support a sewer system. Still says the cost per household would average just above $30 a month, maybe higher for those who use more water.

Still says, "It's a lot better than putting in a cheaper system, that in the long run is going to cost the user a lot more money."

Those opposing the proposed sewer say there are cheaper systems that run more like the current septic systems in the district. Yet still says the septics are what's causing a hazard in the groundwater.

Still adds, "The system that we're going to be putting in, we can monitor that and have somebody monitor that all the time, where an individual is, they're just not going to be able to monitor that."

There's a high cost for a sewer system, more than $2.5 million to be exact. The Wright County Water District #1 says a combination of grants and bonds will pay for the majority of that cost. People in town will just be responsible for monthly fees, and to repay the bonds.

The opposition says they've hired an attorney and are considering legal action to stop this plan.

As far as when construction on this system could start, we're at least a year away. The water district is waiting to hear if the expected grants will come through.
