FRUITLAND — On Oct. 26, the Fruitland City Council reversed an earlier decision on an extension of the Orchard Heights Subdivision preliminary plat. The council had voted on Sept. 28 to deny the request, citing limited capacity in the city’s water and wastewater systems, and restrictions imposed by Southwest District Health officials.
On Sept. 22, the council reviewed a letter from City Engineer William Mason stating that the city’s systems are operating near capacity.
