Hopes for an out-of-court settlement on the differences between the City of Waynesville and the Pulaski County Sewer District were dealt a severe blow Wednesday when another lawsuit was presented to the Sewer District.
A meeting was scheduled for noon today in hopes of settling the stalemate between the two entities but that seems unlikely now.
“I was willing to talk in good faith,” said Sewer District Chairman Gary Porter. “I thought we were at least going to sit down (today) and talk about things. I’m so mad now. This just burns me up.”
Porter, who has been chairman just more than a month sought the meeting to “iron things out.”
“Yeah, I was optimistic. Now, I guess it’s up to the lawyers,” said Porter who said he had yet to see the lawsuit.
On Tuesday, Waynesville City Administrator Bruce Harrill said he, too, was looking forward to Thursday’s lunchtime gathering.
