Loa reports arsenic test results and discusses impact fees, water rates
Summary
Council recorded arsenic results showing the blended value under 1 µg/L and discussed pursuing an impact‑fee study and possible impact fee to accelerate water debt repayment.
The council recorded arsenic testing results for the town water system: the system blend reported at 0.98 µg/L, well #2 at 0.94 µg/L and well #3 at 0.106 µg/L; the meeting record states "the blend is still good." The report was entered early in the meeting without public comment.
Councilmembers also discussed water rates, bulk water charges and impact fees. Mayor Cody Grundy proposed charging an impact fee "and then put that back onto the loan so it can help pay it off quicker," explaining this as a mechanism to reduce debt sooner. Clerk Michelle Brian said an impact‑fee analysis would be needed (previously estimated at roughly $12,000 by staff at an earlier time) and the council discussed seeking grant or planning funds to support the study before adopting fees.
