SPRINGVILLE The city of Springville has given the green light to several families that have been waiting to move into their Archer’s Cove homes.
Seven families have been asking for certificates of occupancy that were originally denied over a sewer issue. Springville Mayor Dave Thomas said he would not release certificates until the sewer system was completed. He said it was only one-third of the way finished. Developers argued the system was finished enough to handle the first 100 homes in Archer’s Cove. The developer said by the time more homes are built in the subdivision, the sewer system would be 100% complete.

SPRINGVILLE A group of concerned home buyers from the Archer’s Cove development in Springville addressed Springville Mayor Dave Thomas and members of the City Council on Monday night, February 1, after the regular council meeting.
The group, including real estate agents involved in the purchase of the homes, was seeking certificates of occupancy from the city needed to close on their purchases before moving into the development. The Mayor and Council, along with City Attorney Charlie Waldrep, met in executive session at the end of the regular city council meeting to discuss the issue, among other concerns, prior to meeting with the buyers and their representatives after the council meeting.
