The City is continuing a proactive infiltration and inflow reduction program to eliminate significant <br />Over the last <br />decade, the City has been investing approximately a quarter of a million dollar a year in sewer <br />rehabilitation and lining projects. Because the MCES charges are based on measured flow, any <br />reduction of inflow and infiltration results in lower charges. MCES charges are increasing faster than <br />any other expense of the utility. <br />The City has two water towers and four wells to serve the needs of the urban portion of the City. The <br />installation of well #4 in the northern part of the City provides firm capacity for fire protection, as well as <br />capacity needed for future development along the highway 112 corridor. The development along the <br />corridor picked up in 2018 resulting in a significant increase in utility connections. <br />The City has an asset management system that is utilized in daily operations and assists in future <br />planning. Originally purchased in 2016 and used to track equipment and infrastructure life cycles in <br />maintenance. Specifically in 2018, the project management features of the system were developed and <br />implemented. This process has resulted in improved efficiency and provides a more accurate tracking <br />of project expenditures. <br />AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <br />Acknowledgements <br />We would like to express our appreciation to the entire city staff for their individual contributions in <br />assisting with the preparation of this report and to the outside agencies that assisted with essential <br />information for this report.
