Council directs staff to study bulk water and RV dump near cemetery; motion passes unanimously
Summary
Staff proposed locating an automated bulk water dispensing station and RV wastewater dump near the town cemetery to reduce illegal dumping and raise revenue; the council unanimously authorized staff to study feasibility, costs and financial impacts.
Town staff proposed using town-owned property near the cemetery for a bulk water dispensing station and an RV dump facility, citing proximity to utilities and room for vehicle access from Highway 40. Staff said the bulk water station would provide automated sales to residents who haul water and the RV dump would offer an environmentally safe disposal point for recreational-vehicle wastewater, reducing unauthorized discharges into the sewer system and protecting the wastewater lagoons.
Council members expressed interest in potential revenue benefits: staff told the Council that bulk-water sales could help offset water enterprise operating and maintenance costs without placing additional burden on existing utility ratepayers. The Council approved directing staff to research feasibility, costs and financial impacts; a roll-call vote on the motion passed unanimously.
