Collierville board approves $570,000 amendment for service-line inspections, adds $1.45M to sewer CIP
Summary
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved Resolution 2026-02 to appropriate $570,000 for water and sewer service-line inspections tied to EPA lead-and-copper rule work and added $1,455,373 to a sewer relocation capital project budget.
The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Jan. 12 approved a budget amendment to add funds for water and sewer work and to increase capital funding for a sewer relocation project.
Budget officer JP Spas told the board that public utilities requested a budget amendment to "appropriate $320,000 of water and sewer fund unrestricted cash and to transfer $250,000 of existing operating budget for a total of $570,000 for service line inspections, related to compliance with the EPA's lead and copper improvements." He also asked the board to appropriate $1,455,373 in water and sewer fund unrestricted cash for the Collierville–Arlington sewer-relocate CIP, bringing that project budget to $1,485,373 with roughly $1,415,553.80 identified as eligible for future reimbursement.
Why it matters: the service-line inspection funding is tied to compliance efforts under the EPA’s lead and copper requirements; the CIP increase reflects costs associated with a planned sewer relocation tied to a TDOT bridge project (see related item on TDOT contract approval).
The board had no questions for staff and approved the resolution by roll-call vote.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the inspections and CIP accounting steps described by the budget officer; the resolution motion and roll-call approval were recorded in the meeting minutes.
