SUBJECT:
A resolution to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to renew the Intergovernmental Agreement with the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District to provide maintenance services for the Combined Sewer Overflow Treatment Facility located at 400 N. Broadway, Aurora IL.
PURPOSE:
To authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into a five year 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.
DISCUSSION:
The 2019 budget contains $125,000 in the Water and Sewer Fund account no. 510-4063-511-32-24 for this work.
The duration of the proposed agreement is five years.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This work is critical in order to comply with state and federal laws and to protect public health.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I respectfully request that this resolution be considered for approval.
