Council signs on to regional wastewater feasibility study; agrees to pay share
Summary
Beresford agreed to pay $2,214.29 as its share of a multi‑community regional wastewater feasibility study that would assess connections near the Canton I‑29 interchange.
The council authorized the city’s participation in a regional wastewater feasibility study and approved a $2,214.29 contribution toward the study cost.
What was approved: Councilors voted to join neighboring communities and pay the listed share for an engineering study to evaluate a possible regional wastewater system headquartered near the Canton I‑29 interchange. The study will analyze whether Beresford and other communities could tap regional capacity in the future as growth and industrial needs increase.
Why it matters: City officials said the study could answer whether future industrial or residential growth north of town would be able to connect to a regionally located treatment facility. The study could inform long‑term utility planning and potential shared infrastructure investments.
Next steps: Staff will send the approved payment and participate in the study’s stakeholder group. One councilor noted the city’s contribution could change if participating communities later drop out; staff said they would confirm final cost shares if the participation list changes.
Ending: The council voted to participate and authorized the payment; staff will track study deliverables and return with findings when available.
