The board heard an update on the Transfer Station from Supervisor Mike Eberle.
He went over several of the design changes that the Transfer Station crew and the architect felt would enhance the effectiveness of the site.
They will be getting water from the city of Browerville but were not able to agree on the wastewater due to the potential hazards of the tipping floor waste.
They are hoping to treat the approximate 20,000 gallons per year of tipping floor waste in Long Prairie.
After the update, the board approved the construction agreement with the city of Browerville.
Background: Current state building code requires that the proposed new Transfer Station have fire suppression. Typically, connection to municipal water is the most economical solution if the utility is nearby.
County staff has worked with the city of Browerville staff to draft a construction agreement whereby Todd County would pay for the installation of the city water main to serve the proposed Transfer Station.
The agreement includes provisions that the city would charge for the sale of water at the same rates they charge their residents. . .
