Board joins regional water‑treatment feasibility study, commits funding share
Summary
Trustees approved an intergovernmental agreement to participate in a regional feasibility study for a proposed water‑treatment plant near I‑25/Highway 56; Berthoud’s commitment is $50,000 toward a $400,000 consulting contract with Jacobs administered via Central Weld Water District.
The Board of Trustees authorized the Town of Berthoud to join an intergovernmental agreement with Central Weld County Water District and several nearby municipalities and districts to fund consulting engineering for a potential regional water‑treatment plant near I‑25 and Highway 56. Director of Public Utilities Ken Matthews said the contract with Jacobs totals $400,000 and that Berthoud’s share is $50,000, which is budgeted in the town’s professional services fund.
Matthews said the study will produce a concept design report and potential site plan that will be used to decide whether Berthoud should join a regional authority or build its own treatment plant. ‘‘This will be the decision maker,’’ he said, describing the report as the tool the group will use to determine whether to proceed with a regional plant or pursue alternate options. Trustees asked about timing and deliverables; staff said the work would be substantially complete by the first quarter of next year, with the first stakeholder workshop scheduled for early next month.
The motion authorizes the mayor to execute the IGA on Berthoud’s behalf and commits the town to the stated funding share. Staff said the work is budgeted and the town will participate in upcoming technical workshops and alternatives analysis.
