Summary
Hazen engineers will present preliminary plans and staging needs for the deep‑well injection component of the new water‑treatment plant. Staff said no commission decisions are required at the workshop; a November decision on final engineering steps is anticipated.
City staff said Hazen engineers will present an informational update on the deep‑well injection component of the water‑treatment project at the upcoming meeting.
Staff described the session as educational: Hazen will walk commissioners through preliminary steps, site selection issues, equipment staging and storage needs for well drilling, and options for storing equipment on site rather than using Sports Complex Field 4. The underlying objective is to finalize locations and engineering drawings for deep injection wells to handle treatment residuals while avoiding impacts to active park fields.
Why it matters: the deep‑well injection work is a major component of the new water‑treatment plant project and will require site planning, potential relocation of city operations and coordination with parks and public works.
Staff said the presentation is informational only and that no decisions will be needed the next day; commissioners will be asked for direction in November when staff brings final engineering drawings and a proposed approach for staging and well locations.
Ending: Hazen will present preliminary findings; staff will return in November with materials and a proposed path to authorize final design work.
