Odessa to study water and sewer system upgrade plan

Odessa City Council approved a 711000 contract with Plummer to study water and sewer infrastructure over 18 months. The Water and Sewer System Improvement Programming Project will assess aging lines dating to the 1940s, identify problems, and develop a long term investment plan using cameras, sound wave tech, and KANEW modeling to guide repairs and upgrades. Debra McReynolds and Ajay Shakyaver note anticipated costs rising to 11.4 million annually over five years, with 65 million reserved from a 69.4 million bond package to fund replacements and extensions. City Manager Richard Morton calls the study crucial and says the reserves should cover about 50 years of work in five to seven years while minimizing disruption.

Odessa Eyes FutureGen Fallout and Summit Power Negotiations

Odessa officials say they remain out of the new scaled down FutureGen bid but continue negotiations with Summit Power for a $2.5 billion plant at the Penwell site near Odessa. State leaders want to see advanced clean coal tech in Texas, though DOE will rely on commercial applicants rather than a state bid. Transmission lines and ERCOT rules are current barriers expected to be resolved in coming months.
