Eureka council seeks updates on lead-and-copper survey, FEMA work and wastewater renewal
Summary
Staff told council the city has not yet received results from Sunrise Engineering on the lead-and-copper survey; council also heard updates on FEMA reimbursement work and a pending wastewater permit renewal and asked staff to follow up with consultants and report back next month.
City staff reported to the council that the lead-and-copper water survey results from Sunrise Engineering have not yet been returned to the city. Several residents have asked the office for results; council asked staff to follow up with Sunrise and to provide an update at the next meeting.
Council also received a status report on FEMA-related reimbursement and the city’s source-protection plan. Rural-water consultant Megan Jensen is writing an updated source-protection plan (required every six years), and staff noted the city is behind schedule and may be operating with a grace period from state agencies. The council asked for an advisory-style public meeting next year to explain source-protection concepts to residents.
On wastewater, staff confirmed the permit-renewal application has been submitted and is pending review. Members discussed the potential need for additional engineering review and monitoring as requirements evolve.
Quote: "I'll follow-up with Sunrise on that and report on it next month," a staff member said when asked about the lead-and-copper survey.
Ending: Council asked staff to obtain consultant responses and return both the survey results and a timeline for the source-protection plan and wastewater renewal at the Jan. meeting.
