Staff reports progress on water supply wells; wastewater consent order remains costly and complex
Summary
Environmental compliance staff said the city cleared the last well required by a water consent order and constructed 11 deep potable wells since May 2022; wastewater consent‑order work remains expensive and will require a longer presentation to the board.
Justin, the city's environmental compliance manager, reported the city recently cleared its last well requirement for the water consent order and that staff constructed 11 deep potable wells since May 2022, meeting a September 30 deadline for that order.
He said the wastewater consent order presents different dynamics and astronomical surface water discharge elimination costs; board members asked for a full presentation on wastewater consent‑order progress at a later meeting so staff could provide more than ten minutes of context.
The board asked staff to schedule a more detailed briefing in a future meeting so members can review progress and understand cost drivers and timelines for both water and wastewater consent orders.
