Matt Kocian, Lake and Stream Program Manager, said: “We’re very excited for this project, and <br />confident that it will improve water quality conditions.” If possible, the goal would be to complete the first “dose” <br />of treatment as early as April of 2024, with a second dose programmed for the spring of 2026. The watershed plans <br />to hold some public informational meetings in the coming months as part of a larger public engagement strategy, <br />including social media posts and appearing at city meetings, among other things. Mr. Kocian presented information <br />at the January 24 City Council meeting and answered questions on project logistics. The watershed is seeking <br />partner participation on the cost of the project from the two cities and the county parks department. Centerville’s <br />share is estimated at $35,000. The City Council will consider their support of this cost at their March 27th meeting. <br /> <br />ENGINEERING <br />Northeast Metro Water Supply Planning Workshops <br />The next workshop in this series of meetings regarding water supply will be on February 29.
