Council agrees to staff follow-up on Purdue's revised payment schedule for wastewater connection
Summary
Purdue requested extending a previously discussed four-year connection-fee payment schedule to five years, offering annual payments of $214,333.60; council authorized staff to take the revised schedule back to Purdue and return a formal wastewater service agreement.
City staff told the council that Purdue seeks a five-year schedule to pay a connection fee to allow the company to route domestic wastewater from its Highway 247 Spur facility into the AD Harris water reclamation facility.
Mr. Smith said the revised five-year proposal would amount to $214,333.60 per year. He said staff previously discussed a four-year payment schedule and that Purdue asked to extend the timeframe; council voted to authorize staff to proceed with the revised schedule and prepare a wastewater service agreement outlining contractual obligations for both parties.
A council member asked whether staff had estimated equivalent ERUs (residential-equivalent units) or daily flow; Mr. Smith said he believed the flow estimate was about 40,000 gallons per day but that he would confirm and return that information to council in a future public meeting.
Council approved the direction for staff to proceed with negotiations and to return a draft service agreement for formal council action.
