The board action behind it
2026-05-18: Approved operator's report, including Pump Solutions' proposal to replace Lift Pump No. 2 at Lift Station No. 4 for $13,156.00, RNR Services' proposal to clean and repaint fire hydrants for $29,295.00, and purchase and installation of low-budget security cameras at Lift Station No. 1
What else happened at that meeting
The Board accepted the oaths of Directors Harper-Veith and Folkert for terms ending May 4, 2030 and kept its officers unchanged. After a presentation from a veterans group, it adopted the operating budget for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2027, revised to raise the District's contribution to the Bridgeland Veterans Memorial Park to $100,000 plus accrued interest, and approved the park contract with WCID 157, WCID 159 and MUD 419. It approved MUD 418's joint water and sewer plant budgets, engaged Forvis Mazars, LLP for the fiscal year 2026 audit, and authorized remitting $1,176.95 in unclaimed property. The operator reported that a failure at MUD 418's Lift Station No. 2 caused manholes in the District to overflow into storm sewer inlets, and the Board approved a $13,156.00 lift pump replacement, $29,295.00 for hydrant repainting, and low-budget security cameras at Lift Station No. 1.The law and guidance in force on 2026-05-18
