Council reviews sewer improvement plan; staff to seek updated Tri-Star quote and consider rate changes
Summary
Staff reported a Tri-Star Utilities quote to replace the south lift station and repair discharge boxes and said Midwest Engineering will request an updated quote including lagoon connector pipes; council discussed potential sewer rate increases to fund the work.
City staff and Midwest Engineering briefed the council on preliminary sewer-improvement work and financing needs. The report noted a current quote from Tri-Star Utilities to replace the south lift station and repair discharge boxes, and that connecting pipes between the sewer lagoons need replacement; Midwest Engineer Danial Coltrane will ask Tri-Star to provide an updated quote that includes those pipes. Councilmembers and staff also reviewed sewer rates and discussed what increases may be required to fund the capital work.
The council did not adopt a rate change at the meeting; the discussion focused on gathering complete pricing and engineering scopes so the council can make an informed decision on any rate adjustments. Staff flagged the need to update sewer rate analyses once the revised Tri-Star quote and Midwest Engineering scope are available.
