Warrens commission to pilot AquaHawk MBS micronutrient for sludge removal, citing large cost differential
Summary
The commission agreed May 29 to continue using the AquaHawk MBS micronutrient 'bugs' for this year, citing an estimated $10,000 product cost versus an estimated $600,000 for traditional sludge removal, and will monitor effectiveness before further action.
Warrens — Commissioners discussed the AquaHawk MBS sludge-removal micronutrient and agreed to continue using it for the year while monitoring performance.
Brian described the cost comparison that informed the decision, saying the micronutrient “bugs” would cost about $10,000 compared with an approximate $600,000 price tag for traditional sludge removal. Based on that difference the commission agreed to continue using the micronutrient product for this year and to monitor its effectiveness before making additional decisions.
The discussion did not record a formal procurement motion beyond the agreement to continue using the product for the year; commissioners requested monitoring and follow-up. No specific performance metrics, vendor contract details, or procurement timelines were recorded in the meeting minutes.
