Wood Village budgets manhole sealing, meter replacement and treatment-cost placeholders for water and sewer funds
Summary
Budget materials include carryovers and new items for water and sewer: meter replacement, a final chlorine analyzer replacement, booster design, a $100,000 carryover for manhole ceiling work and ongoing efforts to reduce inflow and infiltration; Gresham treatment costs were noted to be up about 6.5%.
Public-works staff outlined water and sewer capital priorities in the FY2026–27 budget. Items included annual water-meter replacement, replacement of the final chlorine analyzer, booster-station design funding (added to a rollover), and a placeholder for water-main breaks and piping projects. For sewer, staff emphasized work on inflow-and-infiltration (I&I) and a carryover of $100,000 for manhole ceiling/sealing work aimed at reducing flows to the regional treatment plant.
Staff also noted an approximately 6.5% wholesale treatment-rate increase from Gresham for sewer treatment services, which is a recurring operating-cost driver; staff said completing I&I work should reduce volumes sent for treatment and help limit future increases in charges.
