HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners will talk again about the HABIT and Yoder sewer districts at their meeting on Tuesday.
The Reno County Commission discussed options for the sewer districts serving the HABIT and Yoder areas at a Tuesday, Feb. 7 study session.
The commission had asked staff to contact the engineers (Schwab Eaton) working on this project to receive a cost to conduct a preliminary study of what the estimated cost would be for the sewer districts to connect to the City of Hutchinson.
The discussion is without knowing if the City of Hutchinson would be interested in this idea.
Staff expects to have the cost of the study on Tuesday, along with the pros and cons of each item for the two rural sewer districts.
The Commission will be presented with three options, provided that the cost is available in time for the meeting.
1. Approve the study to update the previous study for the connection and expansion of the HABIT and Yoder sewer districts, along with a cost estimate of connecting to the City of Hutchinson.
2. Deny the joint study, and authorize staff for an engineering update for the expanded lagoon system.
3. Table the item to a future commission meeting.
The two sewer districts will pay for the cost of their project with long-term financing and will seek any grants that may be applicable.
The Board of County Commissioners will meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Annex.
