Engineer warns WWTP decommissioning cost is high; council approves limited effluent‑removal work
Summary
Engineer Eric Haibach said a decommissioning cost estimate for the Waste Water Treatment Plant is higher than expected; council approved a not‑to‑exceed $5,000 purchase order to Chivers Construction to remove excess effluent while planning continues with the EPA.
Engineer Eric Haibach told council he is coordinating with Chivers Construction Co. and the EPA on a plan to decommission the village Waste Water Treatment Plant and that he has received a cost estimate he finds unfavorable and hopes will decline. Fiscal Officer Kristie M. Crockett said that quote has been added to the budget, prompting temporary appropriations work for Q1 2025.
While long‑term decommissioning planning continues, council approved a purchase order to Chivers Construction Co., not to exceed $5,000, to remove excess effluent at the WWTP. The council also approved a $32,973.25 local share payment to the Lake County Engineer for the Middle Ridge Road paving project and a $3,370.90 purchase to Kiesler Police Supply for training equipment, all by unanimous roll calls.
