Public Utilities Committee

Utilities committee will get a packed set of updates June 1, including lead service line work, sewer lining, and a mutual-aid agreement for electric storm help. The agenda is heavy on “status” and light on specifics residents usually need (like exact streets, timelines, and costs).

Key Decisions

Lead service line (LSL) work is on the agenda for both 2025 and 2026 contracts—important because it affects drinking water safety and can require property access, but the agenda doesn’t spell out which blocks are next or how residents will be notified.

Sewer lining (CIPP) updates for 2025 and 2026 are scheduled; this work can reduce backups and long-term repair costs, but residents will want clearer detail on where work is planned and what’s delaying it.

The committee is set to consider an out-of-state mutual aid agreement for electric utilities—basically the paperwork that lets crews help each other after major storms, which matters when outages stretch beyond local capacity.

Agenda Items

5. PROJECT STATUS UPDATES

The committee will review a slate of project updates: 2025 and 2026 sewer lining (CIPP), 2025 and 2026 lead service line (LSL) contracts, and the 2026 water system improvement. This is the kind of agenda section where residents typically need the basics—where, when, and what to expect at their property—but the agenda itself doesn’t provide those details, so the meeting discussion will matter.

6. WASTEWATER UTILITY: UPDATES AND ACTION

The wastewater utility will cover compliance reporting, DNR requirements for land-applying sewer sludge, and several equipment and reliability items (SCADA/primary server planning, a lift station generator switch replacement, and a primary clarifier inspection), plus storm/power outage response. This is mostly operational, but it’s also where costs and reliability risks tend to surface—especially when the city is planning years ahead for major control-system upgrades.

7. ELECTRIC AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS UTILITIES: DIRECTOR UPDATES AND ACTION, IF APPLICABLE

The electric utility will give a storm recap and is expected to take up an out-of-state mutual aid agreement as an action item. Mutual aid agreements are the behind-the-scenes setup that can speed restoration when a storm overwhelms local staffing—so residents should watch whether this is a routine renewal or a change in how Two Rivers plans to respond to bigger events.

8. WATER UTILITY: DIRECTOR UPDATE, DISCUSSION AND ACTION, AS NEEDED

The water utility will discuss a plant soffit item, a reservoir project update, and lead-and-copper sampling. The sampling update is the public-health piece residents should care about, but the agenda doesn’t say whether results are in, whether any homes need follow-up sampling, or what changes (if any) are being considered.

10. SOLID WASTE UTILITY: UPDATES AND ACTION, AS NEEDED

The committee will get a landfill update and take up an ordinance item. Because the agenda doesn’t describe what the ordinance would change, residents should watch for whether it affects collection rules, fees, or enforcement—things that hit households directly.
