Council files 2024 wastewater planning report required by state
Summary
City staff presented the municipal wastewater planning report showing the system's condition (roughly 3,367 connections and about 55 miles of sewer line) and steps staff takes to inspect and maintain lines; council approved the report required by the Division of Environmental Quality.
Public works staff presented the city’s 2024 municipal wastewater planning report, which outlines system condition, inspections and maintenance practices. Staff told the council the city maintains roughly "3 3667 connections" and about "55 miles of sewer line," and described routine inspections and targeted video inspections when problems arise.
Staff described a recent backup caused by flushable wipes that clogged a manhole and said crews have addressed the issue; they reported manhole inspections and cleaning are part of a multi-year program. The council moved and approved Resolution 25-07 to file the wastewater planning report with the state Division of Environmental Quality as required by statute.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about video inspections and frequency; staff said video is used when crews identify issues in cleaning or routine work, with the broader cleaning program running on an approximate three-year cycle.
