body
PURPOSE:
To authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an agreement with the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District to assist in the maintenance of the CSO treatment facility located at 400 N. Broadway, Aurora IL.
BACKGROUND:
The City's CSO Waste Water Treatment Facility provides screening, primary treatment, disinfection, and storage of CSO flows prior to discharge into the Fox River. The construction of the facility was required as part of an Illinois Pollution Control Board Order issued in 1988. The proper operation of this facility is essential in order to meet the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requirements. State law requires that the Facility be operated by an Illinois licensed waste water operator. The Fox Metro Water Reclamation District has the expertise and equipment to maintain and operate the facility. Fox Metro has satisfactorily operated the facility since completion of the plant in 1998.
The existing agreement is for a 5 year time period and is set to expire at the end of November 2013.
DISCUSSION:
Funding for this work is included in the 2014 budget in account no. 510-4470-511-32-24
IMPACT STATEMENT:
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We respectfully request that this item be forwarded to the Buildings, Grounds and Infrastructure Committee for their consideration.
