Summary
City staff confirmed with its consultant that the annual estimated media cost for PFAS carbon treatment at well 29 includes disposal; the consultant said costs remain close to last year’s estimates and have not increased materially.
City staff told the council that the consultant confirmed disposal costs for the carbon treatment medium are included in the annual estimated media cost for PFAS treatment at Well 29, and that the cost estimate remains close to the prior year’s figures.
Why it matters: Including disposal in the estimate clarifies operating costs the city should expect for PFAS treatment and helps the council evaluate project affordability and ongoing maintenance budgets.
Public Works staff said the consultant verified that the disposal cost was part of the prior year estimate and that figures have not increased materially. A council member thanked staff and the city manager for pursuing the clarification.
Discussion versus decision: This briefing was informational; no motion or budget action followed at the meeting.
What’s next: Staff will continue PFAS treatment planning for Well 29 informed by the confirmed media and disposal estimates.
