0 Comments

 
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) Board Meeting - March 1, 2018    

What did the Board decide:
  • The Board issued purchase orders for Phosphorus Removal Feasibility Studies for Stickney, O’Brien, and Calumet Water Reclamation Plants in the amount of $917,668.00.
  • Deferred change order for increasing consulting fee to Schiff Hardin LLC for representing the District in renewable energy projects. 
  • Authorized a pilot project to install SigaGuard cyber security to monitor gate movements and analyze data gathered(at no cost to the District). 

What else did the Board discuss:
  • There was discussion on the ability of the McCook Reservoir to fill during the last rainstorm while the ground was snow covered and frozen thus averting any area flooding and reversals into Lake Michigan. Biggest test since the September 2008 storm.

Other Testimony:
  • Mr. Blakemore continued his advocating for a Inspector General for the MWRD.​
