Commission approves $293,000 contract to update water/wastewater master plan
Summary
Fall River City authorized $293,000 for a master plan update; staff said Stantec (formerly FST) has historical work on the system and will lead the update.
The Fall River City Water and Sewer Commission approved $293,000 to update the department’s master plan for water and wastewater systems.
Staff said the last update occurred in 2015 and that the utility uses master plans as a 20-year planning tool; staff and the Department of Public Works prefer plans no older than ten years. The consultant that originally prepared the plan, identified in the discussion as FST, now operates as Stantec. Staff said retaining Stantec is advantageous because they have historical knowledge of the system and prior planning work.
Commissioners unanimously approved the master plan update authorization. Staff said the updated plan will be used for budgeting, regulatory compliance, and future capital planning and that they use the master plan regularly in operations and long-term planning.
No further details on the schedule or specific deliverables were discussed at the meeting.
