<br />:~} 2 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />MARCH 13, 1984 <br /> <br />B. Expansion of the City's sewage treatment plant from 6 MGD to 8 MGD <br />(with no participation by PSA in cost), or by 2 MGD, plus cost of <br />odor-control and other improvements required for present 6 MGD capa- <br />city. . . . .$3,324,675. <br /> <br />Mr. Edmonds <br /> <br />then projected operating-maintenance costs, noting that "diversion" would <br /> <br />not substantially reduce such costs at the City's treatment plant, with the conclusion <br /> <br />that, by comparing the costs of the two methods hereinabove cited, after the first few <br /> <br />years the more favorable method lies in the expanding of the City's treatment plant <br /> <br />(including the cost of odor-control and other improvements) whereby the City would secure <br /> <br />2 MGD treatment capacity vs. only 1 MCD by diverting to the PSA's "Koehler" treatment <br /> <br />plant. Mr. Tom Crush, of Wiley & Wilson (the City's consulting engineers), present at <br /> <br />this meeting and in response to inquiry, presented exhibits depicting existing and pro- <br /> <br />jected sewage flows, by source and classification, into the City's treatment plant, <br /> <br />with the existing flow being 5.48 (or 5.44) MGD and the projected flow (to year 2005) <br /> <br />estimated at 7.60 MGD. On the basis of a preliminary engineering report prepared for the <br /> <br />Henry County Public Service Authority (by its consulting engineers under date of November, <br /> <br />1982), Mr. Crush pointed out that the projected 20-year flows (year 2005) will be 7.84 MGD <br /> <br />into the City's treatment plant (by diverting a projected flow from the City's Jones <br /> <br />Creek Interceptor of 2.27 MGD to the PSA's "Koehler" plant) and 8.04 MGD (including 2.27 <br /> <br />MGD from the City) into the Public Service Authority's "Koehler" plant, thus requiring <br /> <br />expansion of both plants to meet the combined total capacity requirement of 16 MGD at the <br /> <br />year 2005. In response to Councilmember Severt's query as to the estimated cost of <br /> <br />diverting 2 MGD from the City's Jones Creek Interceptor to the PSA's "Koehler" plant, <br /> <br />City Manager Edmonds indicated that, on the basis of current flow demands, the City would <br /> <br />need to negotiate for a diversion of only 1 MGD, as proposed in his letter of under- <br /> <br />standings. Mr. Edmonds further pointed out that his proposed letter of understandings <br /> <br />would commit the City only for its share of the engineering costs involved, estimated <br /> <br />to be some $45,000.00-$50,000.00. Meanwhile, Mr. Crush explained the discrepancy, be- <br /> <br />tween his estimate of some $60,000.00 in engineering costs for plans and specifications <br />
