NAPOLEON â Name a project that will be a huge focus for city officials here in 2021, and the townâs impending wastewater plant rehab surely will be right up there.
Located on the north bank of the Maumee River â at the very end of East Washington Street, not far from the center of town â the plant is aging and in need of upgrades, according to city officials. The plantâs superintendent, Dave Pike, said much of the plant dates back to 1959.
âA lot of that technology has changed and advanced throughout the years,â he said.
âWe just have some very, very old machinery thatâs nearing the end of its useful life,â said Mayor Jason Maassel. âItâs time.â
Napoleon City Council Monday night agreed to extend the ceiling for which it will borrow money for the new pool project.
Initially, the city was going to approve second reading on an ordinance for the issuance and sale of bonds in the amount of $3.95 million. The funding for the bond will come from a 20-year property tax levy approved by voters.
Napoleon City Manager Joel Mazur said in reviewing interest rates on bonds, however, that the city could include some more items that were either cut from the project initially or that have arisen since the project began.
He also said the project is going well to this point, with progress on the bathhouse/concession building that will also house a new clubhouse for the golf course.
