Summary
Mayor Abdella said the city will complete a water model and evaluate the Rockland Lift Station as part of planning to replace the State Route 7 water and sewer line from Orion to Clement, which she said "must be replaced within 5 years."
Mayor Abdella told council the city is finalizing the 2026 budget and moving forward on several infrastructure assessments aimed at increasing water volume and supply.
"We are looking at completing a water model for the city that will look at where are needs are when trying to add volume and supply to our water system," Mayor Abdella said. She added the city will evaluate the Rockland Lift Station and lift stations along State Route 7 to plan replacing the Rt. 7 water and sewer line from Orion to Clement. "This line replacement must be replaced within 5 years," she told council.
The mayor said the evaluation will satisfy the city's initial reporting obligation tied to replacement planning and that work will feed into the 2026 budget discussions. Council scheduled additional Finance/Audit committee meetings to continue budget deliberations on Feb. 16 and Feb. 23.
