Service director reports new ozone equipment, SCADA progress and plans to seek OPWC funding for Jefferson Street project
Summary
The service director reported delivery of ozone equipment stored at the water plant, progress on SCADA integration, upcoming filter-bed work, and said the city will apply to OPWC for up to $400,000 toward a Jefferson Street water/sewer project estimated at about $1.1 million.
The city’s service director reported that new ozone equipment for the water plant has been delivered and is stored at the plant; staff invited council members to tour the equipment. He also said work is underway to service and rotate filter beds, and that the city’s SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system is nearly complete. The director said the city is evaluating costs to add cameras and lighting at well fields and that fencing is being considered depending on available funds.
Separately, the council president said the Jefferson Street water and sewer project will be submitted to the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) on Nov. 5 and that the city will seek approximately $400,000 toward a roughly $1.0–1.1 million project to replace failing water and sewer lines. Engineers met with staff and the mayor said the project has moved forward to the OPWC application stage.
The law director reported ongoing negotiations about a yearly operating contract with Tri County (the referenced water company) and said the matter remains temporary until a longer-term agreement is approved. Council did not take formal action on the contract during the meeting.
