Council authorizes request for proposal for feasibility study on potable water reuse
Summary
Council authorized staff to issue an RFP for a feasibility study on potable water reuse, directing the infrastructure committee to evaluate options for water‑reuse projects.
Council authorized staff to issue a request for proposals (RFP) to study the feasibility of a potable water reuse project. The motion, made by Mr. Weiss and seconded by Mr. Strandfeld, passed with council voice vote; the motion authorizes staff to solicit proposals for a study to evaluate potable water reuse options.
Councilmember Weiss described the motion as an initial, exploratory step to evaluate whether potable water reuse is feasible for the borough. The committee noted the study will be an early planning step and that any project would require additional engineering, regulatory approvals and funding decisions.
Why it matters: Potable reuse feasibility could identify options for reducing freshwater demand, improving resilience or managing wastewater; the RFP begins a multi‑step evaluation process rather than committing to construction or funding.
