Council approves pilot test to evaluate lower-cost chromium-6 treatment at city wells
Summary
The council approved a pilot test to evaluate a smaller-footprint, lower-cost chromium-6 treatment system and confirmed Broad and Caldwell will help evaluate alternatives; the item passed by roll-call vote.
The Dixon City Council voted to approve a pilot test to evaluate a potential chromium-6 treatment process for the city's wells.
Council discussion identified that the city is currently sampling quarterly for chromium-6 and staff said the pilot system under consideration could be less costly and require a smaller footprint than prior approaches. Council members referenced an existing contract with Broad and Caldwell to assist in evaluating the pilot and alternatives. At the conclusion of discussion, a council member moved, "Move to approve 94." The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with all members voting Aye.
Council and staff said the pilot will help estimate costs and footprint needs ahead of any larger treatment installation required under state mandates.
