Clyatt and some of her neighbors believe the line would destroy the rural character of their wooded neighborhood. And they geared up for a court battle. The dispute over the sewer line hasn't been resolved, but Clyatt says it has brought the neighborhood together. We all know each other now and we all look out for each other in ways we didn't before. Clyatt, who has lived in Maple Valley for 10 years, isn't any happier about the cars that speed past her home on Witte Road Southeast than she is about the proposed new sewer line.
Police say they get a lot of complaints and are cracking down on speeders.
But Clyatt is generally impressed with how things are going in the fledgling city. This is a great community. The people here are very nice. I think it's perfect. Maybe not on my little corner, but it's perfect.
