Title
GRU Wastewater Collection System Integrity (NB)
Explanation
Wastewater spills in our community generate the interest of customers and elected officials alike. Specifically, questions are raised concerning the integrity of wastewater infrastructure and the implementation of preventative programs to minimize spills. On several occasions, Staff have responded to these questions with reports to the City Commission (September 22, 2003 and June 2, 2004). At this time, Staff seeks to update the City Commission on existing and future efforts to evaluate and improve the performance of the vast network of underground facilities that provide wastewater service to this Community. Additionally, benchmarking with other wastewater utilities will be referenced to better the perspective on system successes.
Recommendations
The City Commission receive a presentation from Staff concerning the integrity of the GRU Wastewater Collection System and efforts to minimize future wastewater spills.
Fiscal Note
