Summary

City Engineer Elly Goebel told the council that the 2021 Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) planning projections through 2041 have been exceeded (1,536 connections) and the city authorized Morrison-Maierle to produce a technical memo that will allow the City to re-evaluate connection counts and issue will-serve letters for new services.

Elly Goebel explained the City's 2021 Water Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) is outdated: the projections for water and sewer connections through 2041 have already been exceeded (1,536 connections). To continue issuing will-serve letters for new water and sewer connections, Goebel said the City needs an updated planning section.

The Council approved a motion by Drew Dawson, seconded by Mike Taylor, authorizing Morrison-Maierle to produce a technical memo that will reassess connection counts and update the planning assumptions in the PER. The memo is intended to support issuance of will-serve letters and clarify how many additional connections the system can accept under current planning assumptions.
