Veneta Utilities Authority approves Omni contract to develop system flushing program
Summary
The Veneta Utilities Authority voted unanimously July 15 to contract Omni Water Consultants to develop and maintain a system flushing program following a 3-0 committee recommendation.
The Veneta Utilities Authority voted July 15 to enter into a contract with Omni Water Consultants to develop a system flushing program for the city.
The Water and Sewer Committee recommended the contract by a 3-0 vote before the full authority took up the item, and a board member described Omni as “a partner... professional... willing to work with us” and noted Omni is also a customer of the city.
Motion by Board member Young, second by Board member Lucas, carried on a recorded roll call in which all members present voted yes. The authority accepted the proposal and will enter an agreement with Omni to prepare the system flushing program. The meeting did not specify a contract amount or timelines.
Board members said the program would be implemented and maintained for the city; no further implementation details or funding sources were provided in the public discussion.
The contract follows the committee recommendation and is intended to formalize regular flushing work intended to support water quality in the distribution system.
