Council authorizes $18,000 study to value Clean Water Plant capacity for potential Mead Johnson flows
Summary
Council approved engaging Utility Financial Solutions LLC for a financial analysis (estimated $18,000) to determine the value and rate impacts if Mead Johnson sends additional wastewater to the Zeeland Clean Water Plant; technical review and further agreement terms remain pending.
The Common Council authorized staff to engage Utility Financial Solutions LLC for a financial analysis, with a good-faith estimate of $18,000, to evaluate the Clean Water Plant capacity value if Mead Johnson seeks to send additional wastewater flows to Zeeland’s treatment plant.
ACM Kevin Plockmeyer reported that technical modeling to date indicates the plant could accept the additional streams under modeled assumptions, but staff must confirm flow and loading characteristics, collection system conveyance, sludge handling, monitoring needs, and any required improvements. The proposed financial work will review system development fee methodology, cost-of-service, and the potential impact to existing customers and township contracts. Council approved the contract award to support further policy-level decisions; any final acceptance of flows would be subject to subsequent technical, financial, legal and operational review and formal agreement negotiation.
