Paulding County's water system staff presented a set of items addressing sewer-system capacity, monitoring and developer contributions. Staff asked commissioners to renew flow‑monitoring services with ADS Environmental Service for a one‑year period (12/01/2025–11/30/2026) not to exceed $315,732, saying the county currently uses 32 flow meters and four rain gauges to monitor sewer flow and speed response to anomalies.

The board also considered a development agreement with Blue River Development LLC, through which the developer would contribute $1,104,776.52 toward the Cadillac reroute project (Gateway North Phase 1) to move roughly 40% of flow off the aging Rakestraw lift station. County staff said the Cadillac reroute will relieve capacity at a lift station that is about 20 years old and will allow Phase 1 of the Hiram development to proceed.

For the jail sewer, staff requested authority to contract with Brennan Jones Engineering Associates, LLC for $70,545 to design an automatically cleaned screen tied to the county SCADA network and to move operations out of a location immediately behind the jail. "We use the flow monitors...and it helped us to come up with our master plan that is gonna take us into the future through 2060," a water-system presenter said, framing the monitoring work as part of long‑term planning.

The transcript records detailed descriptions of the technical benefits and the developer contribution amount, but it does not capture a public roll‑call vote for these items during the recorded portion of the meeting.
