38 Tuesday, May 13, 1986 DATE: May 7, 1986 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: George W. Brown, City Manager SUBJECT: Update Report - City/County Wastewater Facilities During the regular meeting of Council held April 8, 1986, I submitted a status report on City/County wastewater facilities dated April 2, 1986. In this report, I reviewed an approved plan for meeting the wastewater needs for the City and County for the next twenty years. This review included the method of financing the City's portion of the plan. I also noted in the report that two of our industries (Tultex and Pannill Knitting) planned to expand their dyeing operations resulting in an increase in water usage by Tultex of 1.5 MGD by mid-1987 and Pannill increasing its usage by approximately 0.7 MGD by the end of 1988. Even though located in the County, it was pointed out that Bassett Walker also planned to increase its usage by 0.8 MGD during 1986. Because of these projected increases I stated in this report that "it is imperative that the construction of the Marrowbone Plant be expedited to provide treatment capacity for this waste." As was stated in my April 2, 1986, report, the Henry County Public Service Authority (PSA) applied to the Water Control Board for a permit to construct the Marrowbone Plant on October 11, 1985. As of the present, this permit has not been issued to the PSA. However, I am advised by the County Administrator that they expect that the permit will be issued within sixty (60) days which, according to their Engineers, will enable the PSA to complete the plant construction by the end of 1988, which would have made it possible for the City and County to meet the expanded wastewater needs of these three industries based on their expansion schedules.
