Brownsville maintenance: PFAS testing required starting fall 2025, estimated $1,200 per test
Summary
City maintenance reported the wastewater plant will need PFAS testing beginning in fall 2025, with estimated testing costs around $1,200 per test; the council was also briefed on an outstanding pump‑head repair and stormwater complaints on South Eight Street.
City Maintenance official Dean Twite told the council the wastewater treatment plant will be required to begin PFAS testing in fall 2025. The minutes record an estimated testing cost of $1,200 per test, but Twite said the final cost has not yet been finalized.
Twite also said Gary's Pump and Well is waiting for a new pump head to be built to complete repairs to the fire department well. He reported two resident complaints about stormwater mitigation on South Eight Street and said he will consult Bollig Engineering about next steps.
Council discussion recorded in the minutes focused on acknowledging these pending maintenance needs; the minutes do not record additional funding decisions tied specifically to PFAS testing at this meeting.
