Council adopts 2025 municipal wastewater planning report; system has one small SSO and ~115 new connections
Summary
Utilities staff reported the 2025 municipal wastewater planning program: roughly 9,700 connections, 115 new connections added in the last year, about 136 miles of collection pipe, one Class 2 sanitary sewer overflow reported, and an average user charge of $55. Council adopted the report as required by state rule.
Utilities staff presented the city’s 2025 Municipal Wastewater Planning Program report — a statutory annual filing that documents system condition, connections, certified operators, SSOs and capital planning.
Highlights from staff’s summary: the system has about 9,700 connections overall; staff recorded 115 new connections in the prior year (112 residential and three commercial); the collection system totals about 136 miles of pipe; the average user charge reported in the filing is $55; impact fees for the year were $1,258. Staff reported one Class 2 sanitary sewer overflow (a minor spill), and no Class 1 (major) SSOs. The city said it maintains certified operators adequate to manage the system and is updating its master plan, which will be presented to council in the coming months.
Council voted to adopt the report by resolution; staff will continue the CIP and master‑plan update work required for long‑term system health.
