A hearing has been rescheduled again to April 22,2024 to determine if a privately constructed (not MLGW) sewage treatment FACILITY should be approved for a new development of apartment, homes and retail on the corner of Hwy. 64 and Reid Hooker Road. This development would run down Reid Hooker, behind the Still Waters Baptist Church, up to Grays Creek. The sewer treatment facility would be built in an area near the creek that serves as a floodplain, aquifer recharge and is designated as a greenway, ​area for Memphis, TN. 

This planned development was purchased and their design predates extensive scientific research on the Memphis Sand Aquifer Recharge Zone, a region beginning in Eastern Shelby County and extending to Fayette County, where the Memphis Sands come to the surface for rainwater replenishment. In the Recharge Zone, our drinking water is highly vulnerable to contamination. This raises alarms for potential drinking water contamination via large-scale sewage systems located in the floodplain, and local ecological disruption of Grays Creek. 

Please join us in saying NO to the misuse of our land and natural resources by signing this petition. ​
