Numerous citizens provided public comments expressing strong opposition to proposed site locations situated near residential neighborhoods. Key concerns raised by community members included potential long-term health hazards, the negative impact on local quality of life, increased traffic congestion, and potential decreases in property values. Residents requested greater transparency in the city's evaluation process, urged the council to consider alternative technologies and locations, and questioned the long-term planning strategy regarding future wastewater capacity requirements.
