Meeting Summary
The city council received an update on the project definition phase for assessing the long-term needs of the raw water delivery and water treatment systems. The presentation highlighted challenges with aging infrastructure, increasing regulations, and system resiliency, particularly in light of the recent winter storm. Three alternatives for the water treatment plant (full replacement, complete rehabilitation, hybrid) and three for raw water storage (Yoast Road, Boomer Lake, Lake McMurtry) were presented, with a focus on long-term cost-effectiveness and benefits.
