Council approves wastewater agreement for L'Omore collection system with Iowa American Water Company
Summary
Council adopted a sewer user/wastewater services agreement that defines how wastewater from the L'Omore collection system will connect to Clinton's infrastructure and be metered and managed.
The Clinton City Council on Oct. 7 approved a sewer user/wastewater services agreement with Iowa American Water Company related to the L'Omore collection system, a step staff said is necessary as that private utility procures a collection system that will connect into the city's wastewater infrastructure.
City staff described the agreement as the next step in the process of the private utility procuring the collection system and noted it is unusual in Iowa for a private utility to connect to a public system in this manner. The agreement includes provisions to measure flows where L'Omore's wastewater will meet city pipes and to manage separate industrial and general flows at the city's pump station downstream.
Community Development or other city staff thanked outside counsel and partners for technical drafting assistance. The council adopted the resolution by roll call.
Ending: Staff said there are remaining procedural steps for the private utility to complete before the connection is fully operational and that the agreement positions the city to manage measurements and flow segregation at the shared pump station.
