From the meeting
“I can't speak in detail about the actual contract. But what I can say is that we need to invest in our water. We need to provide greater security given what's happened in the last few days with water treatment facilities and we also need to ensure that our sewer treatment facility has the resources that they need because we are having reports of odor problems.”
What happened

During a recent city council meeting, discussions highlighted the urgent need for investment in the water and sewer treatment facilities. The agency is responding to recent issues that have raised concerns about water security and odor problems at the sewer treatment facility. This context suggests that a formal solicitation may be forthcoming, making it essential for interested vendors to prepare.
