SUBJECT:
Title
Marion County Utility Fund - Utilities Wastewater System - $75,000
Body
INITIATOR:
DEPARTMENT:
Tony Cunningham, P.E., Director
Utilities
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Due to concerns with odors around the SW Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility (facility), Marion County Utilities (MCU) worked with chemical injection vendors/experts to evaluate and recommend an approach to improving the conditions around the facility and surrounding neighborhoods. MCU staff and the chemical injection vendor/expert are recommending an odor control approach and product. MCU and the vendor evaluated the collection system and flowrates to implement injection points and volumes. The effectiveness of the chemical injection will be measured and evaluated to determine long-term solution; however, this was not budgeted. Because there have been open positions in the wastewater organization, there are funds available to transfer from salaries and from health insurance to cover the increase in operating supplies. This is a one-time request.
