MAYOR/COUNCILMAN’S CORNER - PERRY WASTE WATER UPDATE:

On July 18th, a sewer information meeting took place at Perry Elementary School. Following is some of the information presented. Thanks to the scout group pack 330 for setting up the chairs.

    Our existing sewer lagoon system, even with enlargements, will be unable to meet state standards in the future. Presently, it is functioning at 96% hydraulic, and 222% organic capacity.

    The only alternatives that will meet discharge requirements are 1) to use Brigham City Sewer Facility, 2) build our own treatment facility, or 3) partner with Willard and build a treatment facility.

    Cost considerations must include upgrades in present sewer lines, lift stations where needed, and operation/maintenance costs, etc. in addition to the actual building costs of the facility.

    For treatment in Brigham City, lift stations would be necessary. For treatment in Willard, the large majority of the city would not need a lift station because it is downhill.

    The monthly payment would be less on the option to partner with Willard than any other option. It would total $38, an increase of $26.50. (See actual price comparisons on perrycity.org: Estimated Monthly End User Rates).

    Perry City would pay for 2/3 of the facility and Willard 1/3. This is based on growth projections for the next 20 years. This is Willard City, not South Willard where much of the present growth is occurring. In the future, if South Willard desires to hook in to the facility, it is possible to enlarge it to accommodate this and South Willard would pay for the accommodations.

    The total cost would be about $11.5 million, which the state has agreed to loan us at 3% interest over 20 years.

    The information presented overhead at the meeting is available on Perry City’s Web Site: perrycity.org, or can be obtained at the Perry City Offices.

If you have any questions, please send e-mail to bruce.howard@perrycity.org, or jerry.nelson@perrycity.org
