CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
February 14, 1994
4:30 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Anders, Getty, Murphy, Mollenhoff, Krizek,
Jordan, Collier, Mayor Rooff.
Fedon Petrides, Bob Bamsey and staff of RUST Environmental &
Infrastructure continued the February 7, 1994 presentation
regarding wastewater collection and the Water Pollution Control
facilities of the City of Waterloo, Iowa.
They stated Iowa Division of RUST does not offer maintenance and
operation services for the Pollution Control facilities. Also,
design involvement on the present plant includes only those
facilities built since 1988.
They reviewed the demands -regulations -impact -improvements from the
mid-1980s to 1993. They also referred to a study that was made in
September 1988 which included three steps of Phase I, Construction
and Phase II, Construction Improvement. The city constructed Phase
I, Step I, for $1.4 million in 1989; Phase I, Step II, for $1.4
million in 1990; as well as Phase I, Step III (IBP grease removal)
for $485,000 in 1990. Phase II, Construction, estimated at $13
million was never pursued by the City of Waterloo and, therefore,
never constructed.
The present anaerobic lagoon project was designed as a two -cell
lagoon, but because the total project costs bid on March 16, 1992
was approximately $4 million, it was cut back to a one -cell lagoon,
and many other items were also deleted which have caused some of
the problems the city is currently experiencing.
RUST has presented a plan (Alternative G) they recommend which
includes the Satellite WPCF that would treat the anaerobic lagoon
discharge as well as wastewater from industries from the Northeast
side of Waterloo. The Easton Avenue plant would be rehabilitated
with continued use of the existing trickling filters for BOD
removal.
No official action was taken at this meeting. The work session was
adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
