WATER PROJECT DISCUSSION
Reel 94-95, Side 1
City staff members Atkins, Franklin, Schmadeke, Moreno, and Yucuis presented the water
project overview.
PROJECT REVIEW
City Manager Atkins presented the project review including historical issues, compliance with
safe drinking water act, DNR/EPA enforcement, and project goals. Atkins stated that he will
prepare a summary memo outlining the major decisions that council makes with regard to the
water project.
Atkins explained the comprehensive water study was initiated in 1990 and there were three
elements to the study: 1) evaluating the existing water treatment facilities and options for
water services 2) the water distribution system with recommendations on how to correct low
flow and pressure problems throughout the City as well as identify other aspects of the City' s
existing distribution system that may need to be corrected; and 3) the water treatment
process, possible costs, and the supply development. Atkins stated staff has used three basic
goals to guide them; 1) finished water quality that meets EPA standards as well as
anticipating future standards 2) aesthetically pleasing water for users/customers; and 3)
improvements to the supply system with at least a 20-year life after the completion of the
project. Atkins stated that the DNR will be the enforcer with respect to the safe drinking
water law, Atkins said there are a number amendments pending to the safe drinking water
act and that a critical element to the amendment is changing the "current science" regulation
to a "sound science" regulation by way of federal regulations/rules.
WATER TREATMENT PLANT
City Manager Atkins, PCD Director Franklin, and Public Works Director Schmadeke presented
information about lahd purchase/condemnation, land/site considerations, land use plan,
plant/site design charrette, plant design/treatment technology and supply-river/wells and value
engineering. Atkins stated thatthe proposed plant site is a 220 acre site north of 1-80; the
property was appraised at 1.5 million dollars; the City has made a preliminary offer to the
property; and to pursue that site, Council will need to authorize condemnation for it.

PCD Director Franklin presented the Water Works Park Concept Plan which included the
proposed plant, lagoon and storage tanks, filtration area open space, picnic area, trail access,
park land, outdoor classroom, in continuation of the Iowa River corridor bicycle trail, In
response to Kubby, Schmadeke explained there is space between the proposed trail and
riverbank to plant trees for experimentation of filtration. Schmadeke noted that staff has been
in contact with Lou Licht and is working with him as they proceed with the design of the
plant.
Schmadeke presented the concept plan-water utilities improvements and traffic circulation and
lavout plan, Atkins noted that staff will prepare a packet of information for Council to review,
Schmadeke reviewed the water utility improvement location, In response to Novick,
Schmadeke explained that the plan includes a three year storage site for sludge and that
sludge is taken out and applied to farmland in the fall and/or spring, Schmadeke stated
presently wastewater sludge has cost the city about $35,000 a year and he believes it will
be similar for the new water plant costs. Schmadeke identified the well locations for both the
deep wells and collector wells, Schmadeke explained that what is proposed are four collector
wells to draw the water from the river through the sand; a well water intake to collect river
water; four Silurian wells; and one Jordan well. Schmadeke stated that the total capacity
would be 18.6 million gallons per day and capacity for treatment at the plant is 16.7 millions
gallons per day. Schmadeke noted that the Jordan well would be used primarily for nitrate
dilution and for temperature enhancement. In response to Novick, Schmadeke stated that the
City will be setting up monitoring wells, Kubby asked that City staff communicate with
people other persons that use the wells, Throgmorton inquired about collector wells and
infiltration galleries. Schmadeke stated that the collector wells are infiltration galleries,
Schmadeke noted that the DNR considers the collector wells the same as river water so the
treatment process is the same whether the water is drawn from the river or the collector
wells. Kubby asked what the process is for removing pesticides. Schmadeke stated dilution,
Schmadeke recommended that the City also do a value engineering study once the design
outline is completed. Schmadeke noted that the value engineering study could also be used
to fulfill federal grant requirements. Horowitz inquired if an environmental assessment is
needed to obtain federal monies.
! .f
EASEMENTS/DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Schmadeke presented information about easements/distribution system including water line
locations and sewer line for waste water. Schmadeke referred to the sewer extension options
concept plan map. In response to Kubby, Schmadeke stated that the pty could do a tap on
fee for the peninsula area, for the area along Foster Road and the development area.
IOWA RIVER POWER DAM
Public Works Director Schmadeke presented information about the Iowa River Power Dam
including acquisition and water supply implications information. Schmadeke presented current'
photographs of the existing dam. Schmadeke explained that Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric
gave the dam to Johnson County Conservation Board in 1969, the County has not spent any
money on it since 1969 and it has continued to deteriorate since then, and the City is
proposing to rebuild the dam. Atkins noted total project costs are estimated $600,000
including $200,000 for capital expenses and $400,000 for repairs. Schmadeke noted that
the project includes removing the cat walk and putting on a pedestrian walkway across the
top. In response to Horowitz, Schmadeke stated the reason the City needs the dam is to

create a pool of water so that the water level in the river is sufficient for the water intake.
Schmadeke stated that the more differential there is between the water level in the river and
the bottom of the river the easier it is going to be to draw water through the sands.
FINANCING PLAN
Finance Director Yucuis presented the financing plan including capital costs, borrowing plan,
and rate structure alternatives, Yucuis presented and reviewed the following charts: water
fund-rate increase, number of utility accounts billed, water-revenue bv user tvpe. City of Iowa
Citv water rate structure last increase was in September 1. 1991. FY93 actual. FY94 actual,
budaet, FY96 proposed. FY97 proposed. City of Iowa Citv averaae residential user. and option
1 option 2 option 3.
Yucuis presented information on how to pay for a $50 million project. Yucuis explained that
a one year's debt service will be required to be set aside at a cost of approximately 4,3 million
dollars per year, Yucuis stated the one year's debt service in reserve is to ensure to the bond
holders that in case there is a problem with water revenues, the City has the ability to pay the
next year's bonds, Yucuis explained another requirement is that the City needs 110%
coverage, that is, 110% of revenues over expenditures on an annual basis.
Yucuis presented a history of the water system. Yucuis noted that 92% of the bills that go
out are for residential use, Yucuis stated that 68% of the revenue comes from residential use.
Yucuis reviewed the water rate structure and stated that the last water rate increase was in
September 1991, Yucuis noted that the minimum bills for wastewater generates about 20%
of the total revenue for wastewater and water, or about 31 % of our water revenues. Yucuis *
stated that 13 % of the accounts are billed at 200 cubic feet or less use, noting the minimum
has a major impact on the ability to raise revenues to payoff bonds.
Yucuis stated that the proposal includes looking at a 30% rate increase taking effect January
1, 1995 and an 80% rate increase effective January 1, 1996. In response to Novick, Yucuis
stated the start date for operation is FY98. Lehman suggested raising the rate in 1995 more
than 30 % to avoid a drastic increase in 1996. Kubby stated that needs of conservation need
to be taken into consideration when rate increases are calculated. Schmadeke noted that the
less water that is used the less revenue is brought in. Throgmorton asked what effect will
the price increase have on water which will in turn have implications on revenues generated,
Kubby stated that the water use decrease in response to the initial costs and conservation
education should be taken into consideration. Baker inquired about better conservation and
sewer rates. Atkins explained that the City needs to generate so much money to pay for
sewer debt service and water is used to measure the amount of money that goes into the
sewer system and thereby affects the sewer rates. Atkins stated the City chose to use water
as a measure for its sewer billing. Kubby stated there needs to be a way to have people have
control over their bills through conservation and still be able to pay their bills. Throgmorton
asked what effect will the price increase/rate increases have on demand for water and on
revenues generated. Atkins stated he does not know. Throgmorton stated that he has seen
numbers that state for a 145 % rate increase it would generate a decrease in demand between
10-30%, Kubby stated that information is needed about the effect of water conservation.
'.
Yucuis presented information about the average Iowa City residential user. Yucuis noted that
waste water rates will increase. Kubby asked if it would be legally possible to have the rates
be the same no matter the volume of water used,

Yucuis reviewed options 1, options 2, and option 3. Yucuis stated the City can 1) continue
with the flat rate increase across the board 2) go with no increase in the minimums and a flat
increase across the board for each rate structure; and 3) a one time rate increase January 1
to cover current and future year costs.
Other Proiect Elements. City Manager Atkins presented information about conservation and
the University of Iowa water use. Atkins noted that the City of Iowa City has hired a water
educator and has begun distribution of printed materials. Atkins stated staff is looking at the
energy policy act with regards to a voluntary fixture replacement project. In response to
Throgmorton, Atkins stated he will check to see if the University uses the USC as it relates
to the energy policy act. Throgmorton inquired about adopting mandatory retrofit standards.
Throgmorton also raised concerns with regard to lower income folks being confronted with
rate increases and not having cash needed to invest in retrofitting plumbing fixtures. Atkins
stated that staff is looking at policies to assist those very citizens. Lehman requested
information regarding calculations about savings from using a 1.5 gallon toilet vs. a 3 gallon
toilet and the impact on increasing the rate structure. Kubby asked that staff consider a non-
peak rate vs. peak rate to get people to change their water use patterns:
, "
, .
Atkins stated that City staff has contacted the University of Iowa and to date they are not
interested in participating with the City of Iowa City with respect to the water plant. Atkins
noted that it is his impression that in the future if the University of Iowa wishes to tap onto
the City system and the City has sufficient capacity it would be difficult to deny them access
to the City system.
Atkins proposed making the water plant project as much a local project as possible. Atkins
suggested designing the bidding and general administration of the project to benefit the local
economy. Atkins stated that he hopes to fashion the project so as to benefit the local labor
and businesses. Council agreed with the concept.
Novick inquired about the old water treatment plant. Atkins stated that the intake pump
house and old water plant will go. Atkins said the newer water plant build in the 1960's
would remain as a pumping station and for other general use. Kubby suggested utilizing some
of the materials from the historic buildings. In response to Novick, Moreno explained that the
University of Iowa acts as a back up facility for the City's water.
Kubby stated two issues that need to be addressed are water shed management and public
art. City Manager Atkins stated that public art is being figured into the design charrette and
he has received a correspondence from the Corps of Engineers who are going to consider
water shed management. Kubby stated that the City needs to find ways to urge the county
to address septic tank regulations. Throgmorton asked if there was a way to assist single
metered apartments to increase energy efficiency. Novick inquired about the possibility of
using GO and revenue bonds for water plant financing. City Manager Atkins stated there *
could be some blend of revenue and currently staff is looking at a user fee based financing
plan.
Meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
