(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Shipman absent.) IMPROVEMENT OF AUSTIN'S WASTEWATER SYSTEM City Manager Carrasco presented a report on intermediate and long-term plan for expansion and improvement of Austin's wastewater system. He said a number of actions will be taken to address several serious problems at the plants. "The problem we are faced with is an interim problem that needs to bridge the gap between the situation we are in today and the period after which we would have large major permanent improvements in place in the wastewater system that would carry us over a much longer period of time. This report focuses in an immediate need that needs to be undertaken by the City in as vigorous a pace as possible. ........ "Water quality is the prime concern, but at the same time Council Memo 4 9/19/85 recognizes there is a capacity requirement that also needs to be satisfied and as I mentioned earlier, the plan seeks to marry these two considerations in a way that will hopefully guarantee the success of the plan. The strength of our wastewater system really relies on two major facilities, the Walnut Creek Plant, which is by any standard, one of the best plants in the State of Texas and secondly the soon to be completed Onion Creek Plant. By building on these two facilities the plan seeks to insure that we can be successful in meeting our interim requirements. Completing the renovations at the Govalle Plant are an essential part of the plan, not only to insure the improvement of water quality at the Govalle location, but also to meet the capacity needs of this part of the service area." Mr. Carrasco defined the following aspects of the plan: Action 1. Addition of three million gallons per day of treatment capactiy at the Walnut Creek Plant. These would be package treatment plants and we are projecting three plants about the size of the plants we have constructed in the Williamson Creek plant site, or what is called for. We estimate the completion of this plant at about six months. 2. Build one 5 million gallon per day package treatment plant, also at the Walnut Creek site. We are projecting ten months in order to complete that facility. 3. In order to relieve the Govalle plant while these improvements are under way we are proposing a diversion from the Waller Creek area which is currently flowing into the Govalle plant over to Walnut Creek. It is designed to provide some relief at Govalle which would be 3 million gallons per day. We are estimating four weeks to implement the diversion. 4. Recommend we begin construction of a temporary interceptor line going from Govalle to the Onion Creek plant, and will be complete by the time the Onion Creek plant is on line and we are estimating roughly six months in order to complete the construction. 5. We are recommending a conservation retrofit program that would apply to the Govalle Service Area and extended to other portions of the service area. Mr. Carrasco said the additional cost of this plan would be $24million dollars. He then discussed the improvements which are presently under way and the long term plans to carry out the effect of the overall master plan for wastewater. Effects of Plan 1. Will allow to make water quality improvements at Govalle necessary to protect the river and growth in the area. Council Memo 5 9/19/85 2. Reduce our dependence on Plants 5 and 6 at Williamson Creek. 3. Allow elimination of the trucking program and will enable us to allocate 9500 LUE's that we committed to provide in the Williamson Creek service area. 4. The package plants will allow for growth in the Walnut Creek service area in the short run, while major permanent improvements are constructed at that particular site. ! i Mr. Carrasco said there are a number of regulatory approvals that will be needed to successfully implement the plan. Implementation The cost of the plan will be $24,000,000.00. Sources of funds: 1. Recommending use of available revenue bond authorization realized by savings at Govalle and at Govalle and at Walnut Creek. This revenue bond authorization is 6 million from Govalle, 1½ million from Walnut. 2. Recommend the allocation of $1.9 million from the Utility ending balance. 3. Recommend the municipal utility district contract bonds from North Star MUD be allocated in the amount of $5.8 million. In addition, based on the advice of bond counsel, recommendation has been made to use construction funds, also from that district in the amount of $8.3 million for a total of $24,000,000.00. Mr. Carrasco said the estimated rate impact of the proposal would be 2%. He went on to say one of the most important elements of the plan will be a strategy that will guarantee timely and proper execution of the plan. This will require daily attention, a lot of technical support and a great deal of committment to insure that every element of the plan is properly implemented. He said there are a number of uncertainties regarding the success of the plan such as weather and other factors of which the City has no control. But, he pointed out the number of contracts on today's agenda pertaining to the plan. Gary Hunt, Assistant City Manager, then showed charts depicting the plan. Council Memo 6 Motion 9/19/85 Councilmember Rose made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Humphrey, to adopt an intermediate and long-term plan for expansion and improvement of Austin's Wastewater System as follows: "Approve the Austin wastewater action strategy as presented by the City Manager, included in the motion is authorization for funding as outlined in the plan; also included in the motion is authorization to hire a special project manager for the plan and other necessary project support; the City Manager is further instructed to immediately begin implementation of the plan and to submit to Council bi-weekly project reports." Motion was approved by a 6-0 Vote, Councilmember Shipman absent.
