City weighs fixes at plant and 2% city pay hike
Ottawa officials reviewed a report on upgrading the First and Cherry wastewater basin to prevent overflows into Skunk Run and the Marais des Cygnes. Proposals include a pump system, air-injection treatment, basin washing, or splitting the basin, with costs from 591,500 to 848,900 dollars. The city will seek a second engineering review before deciding. The 1993 budget includes a 2 percent across the board raise for city employees, with top-scale workers receiving the increase as a retirement plan contribution.
