Summary

Council members and residents celebrated the completion of Parlier's water filtration project, citing a TCP-contaminant settlement and State Water Board funding (approximately $20 million); the council also said it will receive a presentation on Measure C at the next meeting focused on local road funding.

Council members and residents on Feb. 19 celebrated the completion of Parlier's multi-year water filtration project and discussed upcoming local-transportation measures.

Speakers thanked city staff and engineers for work that restored potable drinking water in Parlier after a long effort tied to a TCP contaminant lawsuit. The meeting record references a prior settlement and engineering phase that together produced the filtration upgrades; the presiding speaker said the city received state funding that fully funded the project and cited a total cost figure described in the meeting as about $20,000,000.

The council repeatedly thanked Javier (project lead, as referenced in comments) and singled out Alfonso Monriquez for long-term advocacy and involvement dating back to roughly 2015. "We have clean water," one speaker said in the record, noting the city is now in compliance with State Water Board standards and residents no longer need to boil water.

Council members also announced that the March meeting will include a Measure C presentation about a citizens' initiative addressing road funding. The presiding official said the measure aims to shift more funding to local roads, noting that previous funding renewals emphasized regional projects and that Parlier receives about $500,000 annually for local road work — an amount the speaker said is insufficient to maintain local streets.

The comments framed the Measure C presentation as an effort to protect small-community road funding and to push back against allocations that favor regional projects. The city will share a proposed resolution and provide presentations for interested cities, the speaker said.

The council adjourned at 07:16.
