Council authorizes mayor to sign contract with 120Water for lead service line inventory platform
Summary
Rathdrum authorized a three‑year agreement with 120Water to host, maintain and support the city's lead service line inventory used for DEQ reporting, with staff noting the platform eases regulatory reporting and can ingest shapefiles from new subdivisions.
The Rathdrum City Council authorized the mayor to execute a contract with 120Water to host and maintain the city's lead service line inventory platform used for Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) compliance.
Staff presented two options (a platform-only option and a managed services option) and said the company offered pricing for a one‑year or a three‑year term; council approved the three‑year term as presented. Staff explained the platform had been used for prior DEQ compliance and can be updated as new subdivisions are recorded; the vendor will host the inventory, perform maintenance, assist with uploads (for example, by ingesting shapefiles), and provide reporting exports in Excel for regulatory submissions.
Staff noted the database currently records 4,143 services and that 282 lines were previously unidentified; staff used the platform to generate reports to notify those customers. Council asked whether the city could maintain the inventory in-house; staff said the level of effort to maintain the dataset, and to meet reporting requirements, would likely exceed the quoted annual fee and that the platform aims to ease long‑term compliance. The motion authorized the mayor to sign the contract for the three‑year term and the motion passed.
