Richardton schedules sewer‑lining work and to send 285 lead/copper notices; DSG presents meter options
Summary
SEH Engineering told the commission Phase 1 of sewer lining is tentatively set for Nov. 7–12, 2025. Public Works will send 285 lead/copper information letters and discussed unknown service connections likely on the city side. DSG presented on meter options.
City engineers told the Richardton commission on Oct. 13 that Phase 1 of a multi‑phase sewer‑lining project is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 7–12, 2025, with planning continuing for subsequent phases.
SEH Engineering representatives and city Engineer Matt Schible discussed the schedule and permit needs for future phases. The commission approved budget adjustments that included $55,000 added to Fund 300 to cover engineering for sewer‑lining Phases 2 and 3.
Public Works Superintendent Connor Gill reported the city will mail 285 letters about lead and copper service information. Gill said many of those letters will go to homes that have already submitted information because the unknown service location in several cases appears to be on the city side rather than the private owner connection. The city will include a cover letter explaining that owners who already submitted information do not need to take further action.
The commission also approved the purchase of a new seal for Public Works and noted scrap iron is being removed at the landfill. Visitor Jonny Buchholz of DSG gave a presentation on meters and related services DSG offers; no formal action on that presentation was recorded in the excerpt.
The tentatively scheduled Phase 1 date gives the city several weeks to finalize permitting and contractor arrangements; commissioners approved related budget adjustments during the same meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include proceeding with the mailed outreach and continuing planning and permitting for Phases 2 and 3 of the sewer‑lining program.
