Kalona council approves Resolution No. 2026-W for water system improvement plans; approves option to seek removal of UV unit from wastewater project
Summary
Council approved Resolution No. 2026-W (plans/specs/estimate of cost) for water system improvements and separately authorized staff to pursue removing the UV system from the wastewater treatment project to reduce costs; inspection-service options were also directed to be investigated.
Council considered engineering and project details for the city's water improvement work and moved to approve Resolution No. 2026-W, authorizing plans, specifications and the estimate of cost for water system improvement projects (motion by G Schmidt, second by J Schmidt; council polled with all voting yes).
Separately, following advice from Ion Environmental Solutions, council agreed (motion by Bender, second by G Schmidt) to work with the Iowa DNR, the project's engineer and the contractor to pursue removing the UV disinfection system from the wastewater treatment project as a cost-saving measure; staff were also directed to explore alternative inspection-service options for both the wastewater and water projects to manage inspection costs.
