Webster City authorizes SRF environmental review for wastewater treatment plant after public questions
Summary
After public questions and an emailed inquiry, the Webster City Council voted June 15 to authorize the City Manager to sign and submit an Environmental Information Document for SRF funding for WWTP improvements to the Iowa DNR.
Webster City Council on June 15 voted to authorize the City Manager to sign and submit an Environmental Information Document (EID) as part of a State Revolving Fund (SRF) application for planned wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) improvements.
The SRF environmental review public hearing drew an emailed inquiry from Biridiana Bishop (three questions recorded in the minutes) and oral questions from resident Linda Philbrook as well as residents Bob Oliver and Mary Clausen. The minutes note those public questions but do not record the content or the council’s answers in detail.
Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-061 on a motion recorded as moved by Abbie Hansen and seconded by John Marvel; the roll call shows Hansen, Marvel and Mayor Pro Tem Megan McFarland voted aye. The resolution authorizes the City Manager to sign the EID application and submit it to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the SRF program.
The minutes do not specify the scope, cost estimate, or timetable for the WWTP improvements; those details are recorded elsewhere in project documents and were not summarized in the public minutes. The council’s authorization starts the formal environmental-review submission process required for SRF consideration.
Next steps: the City Manager will sign and submit the EID application to the Iowa DNR as authorized; the minutes do not state a submission date or an application deadline.
