Village approves 2nd amendment to water and sewer service agreement covering BUD 5
Summary
The Pleasant Prairie Village Board approved a 2nd amendment to its water and sanitary sewer agreement to reflect higher projected flows for the BUD 5 area, raise the wholesale peak supply rate from 720,000 to 775,000 gallons per day, and adjust cost-sharing for needed transmission and sewer upgrades.
At a regular meeting, the Village of Pleasant Prairie voted to approve a second amendment to the amended and restated water and sanitary sewer service agreement that updates supply and flow assumptions for BUD 5, a 522-acre area on the village’s west side.
A staff presenter summarized the amendment’s principal changes, saying "the amended, water supply rate for the, 2nd amendment, goes from 720,000 gallons per day to 775,000 gallons per day" and that the average daily demand estimate increases "from 350,000 gallons per day to 510,000 gallons per day." He told trustees the change also modifies the sanitary peak-flow limitation from 2.0 CFS to 2.1 CFS to reflect actual and projected development in the area.
The presenter described associated capital needs: additional transmission mains to serve the I‑94/Prairie Highlands area with an overall project estimate of about $5,000,000 (BUD 5 cost-share estimated at 40%, roughly $2,000,000), and an 18‑inch sanitary sewer upsizing the village has identified at an estimated $1,300,000. Staff emphasized the amendment is an update of planning numbers rather than a declaration of immediate capacity shortfalls; they said the village can supply the revised projected flow.
Trustees asked whether the lift station would be impaired by the change; staff replied the lift station was designed for about 1,500,000 gallons per day and that the higher sewer number represents a brief peak (about a half‑hour) rather than sustained additional load. Trustees also asked about the wastewater profile for the Eli Lilly site; staff said the site’s discharges are largely coolant and flushing water and are not high‑strength industrial effluent.
Trustee Rusty Creamer moved approval of the amendment; the motion was seconded and adopted by the board. The resolution authorizes staff to finalize minor editorial changes in coordination with village counsel and Bristol’s attorney as needed.
