The City Council of Atlanta authorized the Chief Financial Officer to amend the FY 2025 Water and Wastewater Renewal and Extension Fund (5052) budget by $17,500,000.00. This budget amendment transfers funds from Watershed Reserves to the Annual Plant Maintenance – Major Mechanical Repairs & Services Project. The project involves retrofitting an existing pumping station with new equipment, including mechanical screens, sluice gates, pumps, motors, shafts, and valves. This funding is critical for the City to comply with NPDES permits issued by the Georgia Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Division, ensuring the maintenance of necessary systems to meet discharge limits and protect public health and the Chattahoochee water quality.
