Local government leaders have endorsed a plan to build two sewage plants about a mile apart in the Fountain Valley. The plan, which drew words of caution from the Pueblo City Council, now goes to a state panel for consideration. At issue is Colorado Springs Utilities� intent to build a plant to process 30 million gallons a day for Banning Lewis Ranch, a planned 23,000-acre housing development on the city�s east and northeast sides. Needed by about 2012, the plant would be built near Clear Springs Ranch about 20 miles south of Colorado Springs. The Lower Fountain Metropolitan Sewage Disposal District also plans a sewer plant to process 6 million gallons a day. It will be needed by 2010 to serve part of the Jimmy Camp Creek watershed. It�s to be built on Birdsall Road east of Old Pueblo Road about 1� miles from the Springs Utilities site.
