4 issues in water utilities
Sewer and Water Infrastructure Investments
The county's utilities need about $855 million over 20 years — over half just to replace aging pumps, pipes, and plants. The Greenwood Lakes wastewater plant fix got a big state loan boost: $19.2 million with half forgiven.
Refuse trailer refurbishment contract
Solid Waste sought a roughly $200,000-a-year contract split among three vendors to keep the county's refuse trailers in repair.
Greenwood Lakes wastewater plant improvements
The board was asked to adopt a facilities plan for upgrades to the Greenwood Lakes Water Reclamation Facility, a required step in the county's state low-interest clean-water loan application.
Regional water and aquifer cooperation
Commissioner Dallari wants staff to look at regional water projects — including with Orange County, OUC, and other utilities — to make sure the county is leveraging its major aquifer investments like Yankee Lake.
