Summary
Council authorized a feasibility study to evaluate installing a filter for Elliot Ranch's water system, with a cost cited at up to $15,000; engineer to report findings on cost and feasibility.
Council members approved authorizing a feasibility study to examine options for removing sand from the Elliot Ranch water supply before it reaches customers.
The engineer recommended a study to evaluate whether a pre-treatment filter could address recurring sand in the water system. The Chair said the city executed the study authorization and cited the expected cost: "So it costs up to $15,000 to discuss," the Chair noted. The study will aim to estimate installation costs and operational implications; staff said they will share the engineer's feasibility report when available.
Council discussed past expenditures to remove sand from tanks and noted homeowner insurance reimbursements had addressed some past property claims. The feasibility study was presented as a first step; no construction contracts were authorized at the meeting.
