Waste Water Projects - Public Hearing

The second of two Public Hearings on the borrowing of funds for waste water infrastructure improvements is set for the Council Meeting of August 19th. The City is considering four projects; a new Waste Water Treatment Facility, the Beaver Creek Sewer Line, the Hargis Creek Relief Sewer, and the "H" Street Sanitary Sewer, a total of over $19 million. Funds through a KDHE "revolving loan fund" will be used to pay for the projects, with increased sewer rates funding the loan. A partial increase is planned for September, with a second increase planned for January 2008.
