Thompsonites will have the chance to address their concerns about the city’s new waste water treatment plant at a public hearing tonight.

The first reading of a proposed by-law was passed at last week’s city council meeting, which details the city’s plan to borrow $12 million to pay for their share of the cost to build the facility.

Mayor Dennis Fenske says that giving the public a chance to ask questions is an important step in the process.

“Once the public hearing is heard, then, if there are any issues raised at the time that council needs to address, we can amend the first reading of the by-law at second reading, or we can go ahead with the second reading as the by-law is proposed.”

The hearing will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion beginning at 7 pm.
