Logan council hears retaining-wall concern at proposed water plant; engineer to evaluate
Summary
City staff reported concerns about a retaining wall at the proposed Logan water plant site and said they will remove several trees while V&K’s structural engineer determines whether the wall can be shored rather than replaced, a move that could reduce project costs.
City of Logan staff raised concerns at the May 18 council meeting about a retaining wall at the proposed water plant site and said steps will be taken to limit added project costs. Mayor Clint McDonald and a staff member identified as Dustin reported they had met with Todd Penisten at the building site and found potential issues with the wall.
Dustin said he will remove several trees at the site, and the council noted that V&K’s structural engineer will assess whether the existing retaining wall can be shored rather than replaced. According to the minutes, the city hopes that shoring the wall would avoid the higher expense of a full replacement and reduce the overall project cost estimate.
The discussion did not include a formal vote or a firm revised cost figure; council members recorded the plan to pursue an engineering evaluation. No public comment or formal motion authorizing work on the wall appears in the minutes. The council set the next regular meeting for June 8, 2026, where the city may receive further updates on the site evaluation.
