The North Santiam Sewer Authority is close to being created.

The North Santiam Joint Sewer Task Force has been meeting for many, many months and has been able to make some important decisions. The Parties (the four cities) will be creating the North Santiam Sewer Authority public entity, formed by this intergovernmental agreement under the auspices of ORS Chapter 190, specifically ORS 190.00, and declare that it will be known as the North Santiam Sewer Authority (NSSA). Soon, the Parties will be agreeing and acknowledging that the NSSA shall exist and operate as an independent government under ORS 190, separately and independently from the Parties' governing bodies. We have created a logo for our new Authority and are awaiting final design creation.
