The Atlanta City Council's City Utilities Committee convened on June 10, 2025, to discuss several key resolutions that will significantly impact the community's infrastructure and environmental management.

One of the most notable decisions was the approval of a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a $61.3 million agreement for the North of Utahi Trunk Sewer Replacement project. This initiative, led by Ruby Collins Benchmark Joint Venture, aims to enhance the city's wastewater management system over a period of 24 months. The committee unanimously supported this measure, reflecting a strong commitment to improving essential utilities for Atlanta residents.

In another important discussion, the committee approved an amendment to an existing agreement with Utility Revenue Management Company. This amendment clarifies the terms of revenue recovery services for the Department of Watershed Management. The changes aim to improve the methodology for calculating fees, ensuring transparency and efficiency in the city's financial dealings related to utility services.

Additionally, the committee addressed the operation of recycling centers through a memorandum of understanding with Live Thrive Incorporated. This partnership, which has been in place for over a decade, focuses on enhancing recycling efforts and reducing waste in the community. The council members emphasized the importance of these centers in keeping Atlanta's waterways clean and managing waste effectively. An amendment was proposed to clarify that the $200,000 annual payment applies to each recycling location, ensuring that the funding is appropriately allocated.

These discussions highlight the City Council's ongoing efforts to address critical infrastructure needs and promote sustainable practices within the community. As these projects move forward, residents can expect improvements in waste management and environmental stewardship, contributing to a cleaner and more efficient Atlanta.
