The three areas are in various stages of decay, according to Mike Valdez, an Ocean Shores attorney representing the group. The city balked on its promise to fund three water-cleaning projects by the beginning of 1997, Valdez added.
City officials say they are doing the best they can to improve the city's fresh-water quality.
These three projects were first introduced on the grounds that it was too expensive to sewer the city. Well, we are now sewering the city. However, there is a two-year grace period to hook up. Bass Canal is located in the center of Ocean Shores. Valdez said his group would like the city to modify the proposal so they can afford to do some work.
