Ithaca council reaffirms wastewater pretreatment and interplant agreements
Summary
Council unanimously approved a pretreatment agreement with the Ithaca-area wastewater treatment facility and a plant-to-plant wastewater agreement covering service arrangements with Cayuga Heights and Lansing, authorizing the acting city manager to execute the documents.
The Common Council unanimously approved two intermunicipal wastewater agreements on Aug. 5.
Councilmember Trumbull summarized item 6.2 as authorizing execution of a pretreatment agreement between the city and the Ithaca-area wastewater treatment facility and Cayuga Heights that reaffirms ownership status and its operational terms; the acting city manager was authorized to execute the agreement. The council then approved item 6.3, a plant-to-plant wastewater agreement that reaffirms reciprocal access to services among the city, Cayuga Heights and the village of Lansing. Both measures passed unanimously with no recorded roll-call objections.
Council recorded no substantive debate on technical terms in the public meeting; staff (including an online participant identified as Scott Gibson) were available to answer questions. The approvals reaffirm city relationships with neighboring municipalities on wastewater operations.
