Sewer-pump compromise in South Jordan?

"It looks like this will end up being a win-win-win, but of course there is work to do and negotiations that need to take place," South Jordan City Manager Rick Horst said. "It's all looking very positive."

The district will need to reapply for a conditional use permit for the new site and repeat the approval process that is already completed for the site in question.

Residents who don't want the pump site to join their neighborhood say they're glad to have input on the situation, but they're not ready to dismantle the neighborhood e-mail updates or stop circulating fliers about the project until they know it's not coming.

Rallying the troops is becoming familiar to these residents. After disputing whether building requirements were followed when their basements flooded and fighting to preserve the neighborhood park, this is the third time the neighborhood has battled City Hall.

"We raised our voices in a couple of things and we've been heard, so obviously, it's very important for people to be involved in what's going on," resident Heather Miller said. "It will make a difference."
