Council approves $6,500 capacity study for Nickel Creek development wastewater system
Summary
Anchor Engineering will perform a $6,500 force‑main and capacity analysis for the proposed Nickel Creek development; staff said the developer could reimburse the city if the project proceeds.
The Mexico Beach City Council authorized a $6,500 task order with Anchor Engineering to evaluate whether the municipal wastewater system can support the proposed Nickel Creek development and to size any needed force main.
Emily Thomas briefed the council on the scope: data collection, a site visit and a force‑main capacity analysis to determine what upgrades, if any, would be required. Council members asked about developer cost responsibility; staff said the $6,500 is typically chargeable back to the developer if the project advances, but the city may cover the expense if the proposal fails to move forward.
Councilors also asked about project scale; engineering staff referenced plan materials indicating roughly 120 townhomes (and other single‑family units) and a possible buildout nearing 300 total residential units. Council approved the task order so staff can return with technical findings on capacity and recommendations about developer reimbursement for any system upgrades.
