WAYNESVILLE, Mo. (July 28, 2010) — A fourth lawsuit filed recently in a longrunning fight between the Pulaski County Sewer District and the city of Waynesville has torpedoed efforts by Sewer Board Chairman Gary Porter to solve the dispute. Porter had announced last week that some of his board members planned to meet in closed session this week Thursday at noon with representatives of Waynesville city government. That meeting was cancelled about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday after Porter learned that Waynesville has filed a federal lawsuit against the city seeking to prevent the sewer district from receiving a $770,000 federal grant to expand its sewer service. Porter said he called the sewer district’s lawyer, Bill Hickle of Rolla, to inform him of the federal grant. “He was happy too, but he said, ‘I hate to burst your bubble, but we have just been sued by the city of Waynesville,’” Porter said. “We had no idea this was coming.”
