Committee reviews water and wastewater projects, highlights SST bond spending

Committee members reviewed enterprise fund activity and capital spending in water and wastewater. Staff reported roughly $2.1 million in water capital expenditures for the year and noted the Steuart Street Tank grant revenue recorded for the tank project.

Wastewater reporting highlighted $5.2 million in SST project expenditures drawn from bond proceeds and described the SST program as a multi‑ECM, bond‑funded effort (transcript: $12.1 million project total). Staff said some SST sub‑projects were near completion while others will be carried forward; debt‑service schedules and bond proceeds accounting were shown on the debt schedule.

Committee members asked for clearer separation between operations and capital in future reports; staff said they will present operations separately from capital for clearer year‑to‑year operational comparisons.
