Council approves $245,000 headworks screen and cross-connection re-plumb at wastewater plant
Summary
The council approved Gray & Osborne's recommendation to add a headworks screen (estimated ~$245,000) and re-plumb cross-connections to separate potable and non-potable water at the Wastewater Treatment Facility; the motion carried with one dissenting vote.
The Electric City Council voted to proceed with two upgrades to the city’s Wastewater Treatment Facility after a presentation from Gray & Osborne. Nancy Wetch of Gray & Osborne recommended construction of a headworks screen and a separate cross-connection water service to distinguish potable from non-potable supplies; the headworks screen was estimated in the presentation to cost approximately $245,000. The council approved the recommendation (M/S Boyce/Higgs); Councilmember Cheryl Hoffman recorded a 'Nay' vote and the motion carried.
Councilmembers said they appreciated the engineering explanation of the upgrades. The vote authorizes the city to move forward with design and construction planning; the motion text and funding details beyond the approximately $245,000 headworks estimate were not specified in the minutes. According to the minutes, Gray & Osborne presented both items during the engineering report portion of the meeting.
