Utility reports 84 million gallons processed this year; board asks about FEMA reimbursement

Utility Service Board · August 17, 2026

Summary

Staff reported the utility has processed about 84 million gallons of wastewater year‑to‑date with only one overflow; a board member asked whether the governor's disaster designation might bring reimbursement for storm overtime and expenses.

Staff told the board the system has processed about 84 million gallons of wastewater so far this year and that operations have been "on target," with one overflow reported during the period.

"We've processed uh 84 million gallons of of waste water," staff member Dave said, summarizing the year's workload. Board members noted high recent rainfall totals (12.8 inches in June; 5.5 inches in July) and said those totals plus power failures drove operational pressure.

A board member asked if the governor's disaster declaration could permit reimbursement for overtime and other storm costs. Staff said tracking of costs is underway and reimbursement is a possibility but not guaranteed; the board was urged to keep careful records for FEMA and other potential claims.
