Council updates: treatment-train progress and Spring Street Phase 4 delayed to 2027
Summary
City staff reported the water treatment train is operating but not fully functional; pump issues were addressed, cells remain unplugged and benefits will appear only after flooding and testing. Separately, Phase 4 of Spring Street is scheduled for spring 2027 and awaits funding.
City staff told the council that the city's treatment train is operating but not yet fully functional and that the city is still completing system components before full benefits are realized.
"It is up and running... there were some issues for pumps; those have been addressed," a staff member said. The staff presentation added that the wetland cells have not been fully plugged and will be brought online incrementally "so it's not completely functional yet."
Staff told councilors that measurable benefits will likely appear after the cells are flooded and water flows through the treatment train and is pumped back into the canal. "I would think that the benefit we would probably start to see it fairly soon... once the cells are flooded... the results, although they might not be real significant initially, I think there's gonna be some results," a staff member said.
On street projects, councilors discussed Phase 4 of Spring Street. Staff said the Spring Street Phase 4 project is scheduled for spring 2027 and that the city is still waiting on some funding. "It is a '20 spring 27 project... we're just still waiting on some funding," a staff member told the council.
No formal motions or votes on additional funding or construction were recorded in the provided transcript. The discussion centered on project timing, outstanding funding, and incremental activation of the treatment system components.
