AUTHORIZATION FOR HOBBS UPCHURCH TO PROCEED WITH A STUDY TO
REGIONALIZE THE CITY'S AND DISTRICT'S WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
County Engineer, Wyatt Blanchard, reported City and County
Staff have met to discuss the possibility of combining some
operations of the District's proposed Wastewater Treatment Plant
with the City's existing Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant. A
proposal from Hobbs Upchurch, including a scope of work to perform
a study on the regionalization concept was presented. If the
design change is feasible, the construction costs should be less
and both the City and County would benefit operationally. The
