2. City Manager discussed that the Texas Water Commission
has refused to grant Sanger a waiver on the 75% of
permit rule on our wastewater discharge; however, they
will allow the City six (6) months from September 15th
to gather information to confirm or refute that our
plant has reached the 75% of permit limit. We are
permitted a daily discharge of 480,000 gallons of
treated wastewater; 75% of that would be 360,000 gallons
daily. The six month extension will allow us time to
demonstrate (hopefully) that our daily average
discharge is significantly less than 360,000 gallons.
If during this six (6) month period, data indicates
that we average or exceed the 360,000 gallons daily
discharge, the City will have to employ an engineer
to prepare a study on construction plans. This study
should cost $40,000. Once the City reaches 90%
average discharge of permitted amount, 432,000
gallons daily, construction on wastewater plant
expansion will have to begin.

and $1,000. for travel.
