Utility fund faces higher debt service; WWTP and AMI projects cited among priorities
Summary
Staff reported a $45,674 increase in Utility Fund debt service tied to a state revolving fund WWTP project and listed multiple wastewater capital projects (centrifuge dewater, generators, sewer reroute) and a proposed Advanced Metering Infrastructure project estimated at $4.75 million.
Assistant City Manager Sandee Braxton and department staff outlined utility-related expenditures and projects. Braxton said the Utility Fund annual debt-service payment will increase by $45,674 following completion of a state revolving fund–funded wastewater treatment plant project. Contracted sludge hauling is budgeted at $130,000 and routine maintenance items for wastewater and sewer systems (smoke testing, manhole lining, replacement parts) were itemized.
Longer-term utility projects listed as grant-funded or potential projects include a WWTP centrifuge dewater system ($2,000,000), installation of back-up generators at WWTP locations ($342,306 and $277,685), an effluent spray field ($2,000,000), and a major sewer-line reroute and replacement (estimate $15,000,000). The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) design and implementation for electric and water meters is estimated at $4,750,000 and was included in the project slate.
