Freeburg staff discuss water operations and pursue funding for upgrades
Summary
Staff reported switching to free chlorine residual, scheduled hydrant flushing, and ongoing discussions with IEP on loan options to fund water/sewer upgrades; the board instructed staff to submit loan applications even if some permit documents remain outstanding.
Village staff reported operational and funding items for the water and sewer system. Public Works Director John Tolan said SLM switched to free chlorine residual on Monday and that hydrant flushing is scheduled to run from next Monday through mid-November. He also described actions taken to address a private lift station issue.
Village Administrator Matt Trout and Village Engineer Tim Pruett said they met with Chad Rice from IEP’s funding department to review the funding list and ways to improve the village’s score for loan consideration. Staff were advised to submit the loan application even if some items (for example, an RR permit) are missing, and to update the agreement with FSH to cover the loan term. The minutes do not specify loan amount requests or a timeline for application approval.
