Council approves UV disinfection project contract; state grant to fund construction
Summary
The council awarded construction of an ultraviolet emergency disinfection facility for the springs to Stewart and Stewart Engineering; staff said the project is grant‑funded and intended for emergency use to avoid permanent chlorination.
The Dunsmuir City Council voted to award the Springs UV disinfection project construction contract to Stewart and Stewart Engineering. Staff said the project is intended as an emergency UV disinfection system that would be used to address coliform events rather than as a continuous, 24/7 treatment system; state funds previously allocated to the project were cited as the primary funding source.
Council members described the project as an important alternative to permanent chlorination, with staff noting the UV system can be brought online in an emergency to disinfect water without adding chlorine. The motion to award the construction contract was moved, seconded, and passed on a roll call vote.
