Council authorizes agreement to allow 'Kohl and Sewer' to discharge to Tuscaloosa sewer
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to execute an agreement allowing 'Kohl and Sewer' to discharge to the city sewer system; staff said a meter is installed and that prior feasibility work and conceptual approvals date to 2014–2015 and 2021.
The council authorized the mayor to execute an agreement that will allow an entity identified in the transcript as "Kohl and Sewer" to discharge to the city of Tuscaloosa sewer system.
Brian (city staff who presented the item) said the matter has a long history: a feasibility study in 2014, letters and conceptual approvals in 2015, a repeat review in 2021, and now staff are prepared to execute the formal agreement. He told council new subdivisions served by the operator are ready to come online and that the city already has a meter in place where the discharge will connect.
Council members asked practical questions: one member asked whether the city would be paid for accepting the flow; another noted that adding domestic water will help dilute industrial wastewater in the area. Brian described the quantity of flow as modest but beneficial to the system.
The council moved, seconded and voted to approve the authorization. Staff said the agreement execution is the next step; the transcript records the council vote as 'Aye' and the motion passed. The transcript identifies the operator as "Kohl and Sewer"; the city should confirm the entity's legal business name and terms of the executed agreement in the official contract file.
