SEWER & WATER
Paul Stokes, Stahly Engineering, reported that they are wrapping up the design on the
wastewater treatment plant construction project. The design will be in the EPA office
and the Corps of Engineer's office by the end of the month, They usually require about
60 days for review. We are looking at letting construction bids in November and starting
construction in December or early January. The winter months will be good for starting
construction because they will have to install piling and support the structures and the
ground water is low at.that time of year.
We have hit a snag on the construction grant because of a new ruling by EPA that they
will not fund failed projects. A report is being prepared by City Attorney Neier which
will state what action is being pursued on the suit against the contractor and manufac-
turer of a portion of the plant which does not function properly. We have requested a
deviation of the new ruling which will be reviewed in Washington. If this is not
allowed, our grant money will be given to two other grant applications and we will
have to wait until next year's budget. We should know by December 1 if the deviation
is granted,
Councilman Ruiz commended City Attorney Neier for coming on board late and being
able to cope with.a voluminous amount of correspondence and doing a good job.
