Board approves grant applications and sole‑source resolution for water projects

Town of Highlands Board of Commissioners · August 21, 2026

Summary

The board approved a resolution to apply for DWI funding for water and wastewater asset inventories and adopted a sole‑source resolution for SCADA and a third filter train consistent with existing systems.

The board approved two administrative actions related to water infrastructure: a resolution authorizing staff to apply for grant funding from the North Carolina Division of Water Infrastructure for a water asset inventory and an associated wastewater asset inventory and assessment, and a separate resolution to sole‑source SCADA and a third filter train for the water‑treatment improvements.

Staff said the cost to prepare the two DWI applications would be approximately $22,000 (engineer fee to compile necessary technical documentation). The board approved a budget amendment to cover that application cost and approved the resolution authorizing sole sourcing under the general‑statute procurement provisions so the town can stay consistent with existing systems across water and sewer.
