Water & Wastewater Budget Considered
June 4, 2007
Do me a favor. Go into your bathroom and flush your toilet. If it works, say a little thanks to our Public Works Department.
Public Works is one of those city functions that people don’t realize how important it is until it stops working. We have a lot of dedicated employees who make sure the water and wastewater systems work. Of course, that is not the only thing they do, but it is an important part of their charge.
The city budget for all those water and wastewater projects is being considered by the council this Tuesday night. We break out our water and wastewater projects from the main budget so each of the projects can get the attention they deserve.
Our projects are listed on a large spreadsheet, with budget numbers when available. For each project, we determine if they can be funded in the next 5 years. If so, we put them on the scheduled year. If not, they are pushed to a “Future Projects” category.
Each year, we re-evaluate our schedule of projects to make sure it is consistent with our vision and to make sure it meets our most important needs.
I’ll post an update to this post after the meeting.
