GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Sewer systems are having major issues from wipes not actually going down the toilet. The Persigo Wastewater Treatment Plant has seen an increase in blockages in sewer systems in the last couple of years.

Persigo monitors more than 500 miles of sewer systems through Mesa County and cleans them every two years, but now with blockages they have to up their maintenance from every six months to one year, which costs them more money.

Dan Tonello with Persigo said they're not sure if it's the flushable wipes for adults that are clogging up the sewers or if parents are putting baby wipes in toilets.

Septic systems can also be affected the wipes can take up room in the tanks causing them to not work properly.

Old Lyme - The Water Pollution Control Authority outlined steps on Tuesday, as it plans for a system to send wastewater from several shoreline neighborhoods through sewers to a New London treatment plant.

The WPCA is proposing a centralized, town-managed pump station that would send wastewater through East Lyme and Waterford for treatment in New London.

The proposed sewer plan calls for connecting to sewers three charted beach associations - Old Lyme Shores, Old Colony and Miami Beach - and three town-managed beach neighborhoods - Sound View, Hawk's Nest and White Sand.

Woodard and Curran, the engineering firm for the project, is slated to complete a draft report for the project at the end of the month. The proposal currently comprises a centralized pumping station in Sound View, said David Prickett of Woodard and Curran. A secondary pumping station would send wastewater near the White Sands area up to the main pumping station.

If residents approve moving forward with funding, engineers could begin designing the system this fall and continue through 2015. Construction, in phases, would be slated for 2016 to 2018.

The town is working on an inter-municipal agreement with East Lyme in which the town of Old Lyme would essentially be considered a customer of the East Lyme sewer system, said First Selectwoman Bonnie Reemsnyder. Old Lyme is also working on memorandums of understanding with some of the town's beach communities.

There will be a special town meeting at 7:30 p.m. next Wednesday at Town Hall in which WPCA members, the first selectwoman, town attorney and engineers will answer questions from the public.

Woodard and Curran will further hold public presentations with the WPCA on Sept. 30 and Oct. 14.

The WPCA requested the Board of Selectmen to research short-term financing and bonding options for the system. Tentatively, there will be a town meeting in October to approve some initial funds for the project.

STOCKBRIDGE -- Round One goes to the developers of the proposed $50 million, 112-room Elm Court Resort on the residentially zoned Old Stockbridge Road.

By a resounding 3-0 vote, the Select Board endorsed the controversial project, much to the dismay of opponents from both Stockbridge and Lenox who attended the final, nearly three-hour public hearing that ended late on Monday night. Supporters congratulated members of the Travaasa Experiential Resorts team that would operate the hotel owned by Amstar Co. subsidiary Front Yard LLC.

At least 110 members of the public filled the gymnasium at the Town Offices -- formerly the Stockbridge Plain School -- to hear both sides present their final arguments before the Select Board on the special-permit application aimed at preserving the 1886 Elm Court mansion by building a connected 96-room addition, opening a 60-seat public restaurant and constructing a 15,500-square-foot spa.

Noting that she was "surprised by the public concern" that erupted suddenly at the board's initial June 23 public hearing following extensive previous discussions by several town committees, Selectwoman Deborah McMenamy credited the opponents for presenting their views in "an organized, consistent manner."

McMenamy, the longest-serving member of the board, also cited the supporters' efforts, which yielded 300 signatures on a petition favoring the resort.

"This was a truly democratic process and I think Norman Rockwell would be proud of us for that," she said.

While acknowledging that neighborhood concerns over traffic and safety impact "are real," she stated that, based on traffic studies commissioned by the applicants and validated through an independent peer review by the Tighe & Bond engineering and consulting firm in Westfield, "the causes for concern are minimal.

McMenamy cited another major project that had generated "all kinds of pulverization from people in the community" -- the 1993 relocation of the Norman Rockwell Museum from downtown to the Linwood Estate in the Glendale residential section. Concerns at that time about traffic impact "have proven to be unfounded," she said.

She also said that more recent, similar concerns over an 80-room addition to the Kripalu spa and resort were also "proven to be unfounded." McMenamy described both projects as "true assets to the town."

McMenamy characterized the Elm Court resort as a "large, but well-planned" project because the 96-room addition is "sited far from the road, nestled into the woods" with minimal visual impact from Stockbridge Bowl, which the 90-acre property overlooks. She also praised the developers' application for maintaining nearly all of the open space at the site.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Tumbleweed Tex-Mex Grill and Margarita Bar at Waterfront Park owes the Waterfront Development Corp. about $30,000 in rent, said Cordell Lawrence, the Waterfront agency's finance director.

Tumbleweed has not paid the agency for the three-month period ended in June, and it has another quarterly payment due in about 30 days, Lawrence said.

He could not say exactly how much the restaurant owes because the rent is not fixed; rather, it's 3.5 percent of the restaurant's gross sales, which usually is about $30,000, Lawrence said.

Rick Schardein, a spokesman for Tumbleweed, acknowledged the withholding of the quarterly rent payment to the Waterfront, which he said is a negotiating tactic to gain more favorable terms in the restaurant's lease, which expires July 15, 2015.

Tumbleweed also pays about $20,000 a month to a company called WaterWeed LLC, Schardein said. That obligation to WaterWeed apparently stems from the financing of the 2004 construction of the building at 1201 River Road.

Schardein said the lease with payments to both WaterWeed and to the Waterfront agency is too costly for the restaurant, which is not profitable.

He said the 27 other Tumbleweed restaurants in the Louisville-based chain are subsidizing the operation of the Waterfront restaurant.

(T)he current lease structure makes it impossible to operate that facility in a profitable manner, said Matt Higgins, president and CEO of Tumbleweed Restaurants, Inc., in a prepared statement.

Schardein acknowledged that Tumbleweed agreed to the lease in 2004, though he said the restaurant group was under different leadership at that time.

WaterWeed which leases the property from the Waterfront and subleases it to Tumbleweed served Tumbleweed notice on Sept. 3 that is attempting to evict the restaurant, according to Tumbleweed's statement.
