Tekoa staff outline three WWTP upgrade options and note golf course irrigation possibility
Summary
Public works staff presented flow assumptions and three upgrade options for the wastewater treatment facilities plan and identified sub-needs, including potential reuse of treated water for the municipal golf course.
Public works staff summarized the current wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) facilities plan, explained the flow assumptions used in that plan and outlined three distinct options for upgrading or replacing elements of the system.
Matt Morkert introduced recent hire Hunter Carol and described the modeling assumptions that underpin the facilities plan. Morkert identified three concrete options (the minutes do not itemize each option by name in the text) and listed remaining sub-needs that must be addressed before a final path is chosen, including the potential to irrigate the golf course with treated effluent. Council discussed the options at length but did not take a formal vote or select a preferred option at this meeting.
The presentation indicates further engineering analysis and cost estimates will be needed to pick among the alternatives and to determine funding sources.
