Status: In-Progress, AD-HOC Committee created, meeting scheduled being developed

The engineering firm contracted by City Utilities of Richland Center has completed the initial facility study for an upgraded or new treatment plant.  The cost ranges from $14-24 million depending on which alternative is selected.  Further refinement of the facility study will continue over the winter months.

Utility Staff, our Engineering Consultants, and the Mayor have been working with the industries that contribute waste to our plant and have a major impact on the odor problem when large loadings occur that are more than the plant can handle.  We are extremely pleased with the actions of these industries.  As everyone is aware, the odor problem at the plant has been reduced to acceptable levels on most days.  We have had occasional over-loadings but they have occurred on such a limited basis that the plant has been able to "belch a couple of times" and manage the "loading". You can be assured that City Utilities of Richland Center is working on a daily basis to arrive at a solution that will be cost effective as to rates charged for sewer services and the environmental concerns of the residents of the City.
