Board hears estimated $12,000 inspection and $435,000+ refurbishment estimate for district wastewater basin
Summary
Superintendent told the board the wastewater basin needs a structural inspection estimated at about $12,000 and that engineering and removal/installation work could start in a price range beginning around $435,000, prompting the board to consider an inspection before committing to full replacement.
During the superintendent's report, district leadership identified a need to inspect the wastewater treatment basin and get a structural evaluation before pursuing larger replacement work.
The superintendent (S2) said the inspection alone will cost "approximately about $12,000" and that engineering or removal and installation work would start in a price range beginning at $435,000. He framed the inspection as a prudent first step: rather than immediately budgeting for a full new system, the district will pay for the structural assessment to determine whether refurbishment is appropriate.
Why it matters: a basin replacement or major refurbishment represents a multi‑hundred‑thousand‑dollar capital decision with operational and budget implications. The board requested that staff obtain more detailed information and return with recommendations.
