City outlines $8M lift‑station project and larger Franklin‑area work as part of capital plan
Summary
City staff said it is designing an $8 million lift‑station and identified a roughly $13 million Franklin‑area project, stressing long‑term staffing and monitoring needs as the system grows.
A city presenter described major wastewater investments in the design pipeline, including what he called an approximately $8,000,000 lift‑station project and a larger Franklin‑area project he estimated at roughly $13,000,000. "We're rehabbing the wells... It's about a $8,000,000 project," the presenter said, noting both require substantial planning and staffing commitments.
Staff framed the projects as part of managing growth and regional capacity: the city has added three to four lift stations and the presenter said the state is encouraging the city to operate regionally to share costs. He warned that additional man hours and operations capacity will be needed at the wastewater plant in the next five years.
