ISSUE

RECOMMENDATION
Approve this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Wastewater treated at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility goes through
many processes. During secondary treatment the water passes through uncovered
secondary clarifiers. Throughout this stage of the process the treated water is exposed
to natural UV rays from sunlight, which promotes algae growth. This growing algae
impedes the treatment process and causes maintenance issues. The Launder Covers
are designed to block the rays and reduce algae growth, therefore reducing
maintenance issues and frees up the treatment process. A bid summary sheet is
attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will be taken from the Sewer User Fund. Funding is available
and was appropriated in the 2012 budget.
