Mayor Paul Monia called Cochran Engineering’s report on the city’s water/sewer needs and its recommendations and estimated costs of more than $1.8 million for the entire project “eye opening.”
David Van Leer and T.J. Garbs gave about a 40-minute presentation to Monia and the Bloomsdale Board of Aldermen, during the board’s monthly meeting on April 13.
The exhaustive report showed residential, commercial and total water usage by month going back to 2016, traced the city’s population trends since 1970 and estimated it out as far as 2050, when the firm calculates population may be about 962.

Bloomsdale aldermen voted to enter into a five-year supervised program of water system improvements with Cochran Engineering for $26,500 at their Feb. 8 meeting.
David Van Leer of Cochran Engineering explained that he had met with city water plant supervisor John Lurk and city clerk Lynnette Randoll, to get an idea of what the city wanted.
“That’s essentially a specific type of water study that allows us to identify projects to be done, within the report,” Van Leer said. “Once that report is approved by DNR (the Missouri Department of Natural Resources) … once that permit is approved, you are allowed to do additional projects without additional permits from DNR.”
