County Planners Lift The Lid On Glenbrook Basin Building Ban The first crack in the county's apparently air tight lid on the sewage critical Glenbrook area appeared Monday night at the meeting of the Nevada County Planning Commission. The lid was clamped on building inthe area by the county supervisors in September of 1964 atthe request of the County Health Officer, The board by resolution declared the entire area a sewage critical area and put a ban on building until the sewage disposal problem could be solved, Steps in this direction have been taken this summer by the formation of Nevada County Sanitation District No, 1 which takes in most of this area, but it will probably be two years before sewers are available.
