Pateros Council OKs EF grant application after staff flags failing flowmeter/autosampler
Summary
The council approved submitting an application to the Water Environment Federation after staff reported the city’s flowmeter/autosampler is failing; the grant could enable Department of Health sampling for viruses.
The council voted to adopt Resolution 2024-06 authorizing submission of an application to the Water Environment Federation. City Administrator (CA Wilson) explained the city’s flowmeter/autosampler "is in the middle of failure," and said an EF grant could provide equipment support and Department of Health access to sample wastewater for viruses.
The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Council did not take further action in the minutes beyond approving the application; accepting the grant, if awarded, would lead to procurement and potential interagency coordination with the state Department of Health.
