and lead-jointed pipes with new C-900 PVC pipe. Also, the City intends to replace
its aging UV disinfection systems at the WWTF. Mayor pro tem Brown expressed his
concerns with the interest rate remaining at the low rate. Ms. Schleicher explained there are no
concerns with an increase in the interest rate. She then stated this project will also tie in with
the repaving of Butler Avenue. Mr. Parks stated there might be a slight increase in the
water/sewer bills in the future due to the improvement(s). Ms. Schleicher confirmed. Mayor
Buelterman questioned the remaining improvement on the sewer lines. Ms. Schleicher
responded there are a handful of force mains that need attention but are not as old as the ones
included in the agenda item. Mayor Buelterman stated in the wake of the recent hurricane he
would ask the Infrastructure Committee to review the issue of the lift stations and generators.
Ms. Schleicher confirmed. She then commended Mayor and Council for their attention to the
infrastructure in the past as if this had not been a priority there might have been catastrophic
damages to the Island as a result of the recent hurricane. Ms. Doyle recommended the
Infrastructure Committee look at installing sewer lines to Lazaretto Creek as there are two
property owners that have expressed an interest. Also, she would like this included in the next
