Sand-filter STEP no longer viable; developer change prompts RFP and city planning

Mar 1, 2025

Staff said sand-filter STEP systems are no longer viable due to material shortages, the developer wants an alternative system that CUD will not cover, and city staff will work with the developer and issue an RFP/Q to manage a new system as Eagleville moves toward self-management of wastewater.

The full story

City staff described the city's ongoing arrangement with Consolidated Utility District (CUD) covering the existing STEP system and said staff previously signed off on a developer plan for a sand-filter STEP system. They told the council that sand filters "are no longer viable options due to lack of materials supporting the sand filters." The developer wants to change to another type of system, but CUD is not willing to provide coverage for that alternative.
