Two special meetings set for Thursday night

The Ironton City Council will have two meetings on Thursday to discuss infrastructure issues.

At 4:45 p.m., the council’s Public Utility Committee will meet to discuss a back flow preventer project and a wastewater plant discharge permit.

There will be a possible appearance from the Ohio EPA concerning the discharge permit and the current condition of the city’s waste water plant.

At 5:45 p.m., the council’s Finance Committee will meet to discuss a weir project that was given a favourable recommendation from the Public Utility Committee.

The project is $114,300 and the Capital Line item in Filtration is $112,000.

This is to replace the weir, which is a controlled obstruction where wastewater cascades over the top of the weir and adds air in the clarifier tank.

This project is due to a violation letter sent to the city from the Ohio EPA.

The council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on third floor of the city center.
