COMMITTEE REPORTS

PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES - -

Director of Public Works Comments – a) The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) for water quality has been completed and will appear in the newspaper this week. As there is natural fluoride in the water, the Village does not add any additional amounts. b) Inspection at the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) has also been completed with a DNR representative. Everything was good for documents and up to par for maintenance with the facility. The Village should know the new phosphorus limits by this fall. Any additional costs could be added to the 2016 budget.

How waste water plants are classified has been changed. Prior 1-4 with Village at 2; currently basic (lagoon style setting treatment like an agricultural pit) or advance with Village at “advance”. Village operators will also be grandfathered as “advance” due to their years of training and background. Some further education may be necessary for some employees.

Just about complete bringing back lab testing in-house. Waiting for a response to the submitted application to be registered to test phosphorus. Hope by next year to have comfort level in place to obtain other DNR required certifications to contract out with other waste water plants in the area to perform their testing.
