Utility Commission extends Dvorak Sanitation dumping pilot at current $13 per 1,000-gallon rate

The Village Utility Commission on Aug. 26 voted to extend a pilot program permitting Dvorak Sanitation to dump holding-tank waste at the village at the current rate of $13 per 1,000 gallons until the Commission can establish a permanent rate. The motion to keep the pilot rate in place was made by Commissioner K. Handrick Jr. and seconded by Commissioner D. Seiler; it passed by voice vote.

Staff member Cherek reported that permit limits had not been exceeded during the two-month trial and proposed establishing a holding-tank rate on the Utility Rate sheet rather than a separate contract. Under that approach, the Village Board would adopt the rate by resolution after the Commission sets it. No final rate was set at the meeting; the extension preserves the existing $13/1,000-gallon charge while staff continues work to recommend a permanent methodology.
