Jul 15, 2026

Water/wastewater staff reported beginning replacement of larger meters and said treatment enzymes reduced sludge to about three inches on average; lift-station and meter-pit damage from lawn mowers were also discussed.

The full story

Terry, the water/wastewater department head, told the council the department had "started to replace some of the larger meters" and that treatment enzymes had reduced sludge levels: "we were coming up with an average of around 3 inches of sludge, and that's great what the enzymes are doing." The report also covered maintenance on lift stations and ongoing procurement for replacement pumps.
