Financial Summary – The committee received the report.
Discussion Item: Electric Avenue Sound Study
Mr. Hoy presented the item and shared the results of the June 30, 2025 Light & Power facility
sound study from Polysonics and discuss options for Committee consideration.
Mr. Hoy advised that on June 6, 2025, Polysonics conducted on-site sound measurements at
the Electric Avenue facility. The purpose of the measurements was to assess sound levels from
recently updated machinery and to estimate the sound pressure levels that could affect nearby
residential structures.
He noted this was the first phase of the study, which involved field data collection only. A
second phase, if necessary, would involve analyzing potential mitigation options based on the
phase one results.
A brief discussion ensued.

July 23, 2025 – Page 2 of 3
It was the consensus of the committee to direct staff to proceed with Polysonics in addressing
potential sound mitigation.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ITEMS
Departmental Activities
Mr. Hoy presented the report and noted that on June 9, the 1,000 kW generator serving the
Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) process at the Water Pollution Control Facility failed. The
failure was attributed to a disintegrated bearing on the rotor, which had damaged the magnet
responsible for generating electricity. As a result, the generator would need to be replaced.
Caterpillar, the generator rental provider, had recommended replacing the unit due to its age,
the high rental costs, and uncertainty regarding the availability of replacement parts.
Mr. Hoy further reported that staff had began soliciting quotes for a new unit. The lowest quote,
received through Virginia Tech’s Fidelity, totaled $359,000, with an additional $89,000 for
installation.
Mr. Hoy advised due to the emergency nature of the situation, staff had initiated an emergency
purchase and aimed to have the new generator in place by next month.
He stated that a report and recommendation would be presented at the August committee
meeting for consideration.
Mr. Hively provided an update on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit renewal, stating that the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) had requested the
Town evaluate the Lake Culpeper dam during the August/September timeframe to measure the
amount of seepage occurring beneath the dam. This data would be used to improve the
accuracy of DEQ’s modeling.
Financial Summary – The committee received the report.
Tap Sales Report – The committee received the report.
R/R Re: Approval of Water Services Agreement
Mr. Hively presented the report and recommendation stating staff had been working with
STACK to develop a Reclaimed Water System to provide cooling for the future data center,
thereby reducing the power usage requirements for the facility. Additionally, the reuse of
wastewater effluent is anticipated
to reduce the nutrient and other pollutant loading in the Water Pollution Control Facility effluent
discharged to Mountain Run.
In February 2025, Council approved an Agreement with STACK to design and construct the
Reclaimed Water System with all costs being paid by STACK. This Agreement referenced the
Water Services Agreement (WSA) to be developed at a later date after a more defined scope
and details of the Reclaimed Water System could be determined.
Since execution of the Agreement, design plans for the Reclaimed Water System have been
developed to the 35% design level, with design ongoing and final design anticipated in 2025. All
costs associated with this design are being paid by STACK.
The WSA has been developed by STACK and the Town to further define the project and to
address reimbursement of all costs by STACK to the Town for the remaining design and
construction costs prior to the system becoming operational. Prior to the system becoming
Page 5 of 29
Light & Power and ES Committee
July 23, 2025 – Page 3 of 3
operation, the Town will develop rates and fees to recover ongoing operations and maintenance
costs associated with the provision of reclaimed water.
The WSA has been reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney as to form.
There is no financial impact associated with executing this agreement. All future design and
construction costs of the reclaimed water system will be paid for by the developer.
It was recommended that Council authorize the Town Manager to execute the Water Services
Agreement with minor changes as may be required and approved by the Town Attorney as to
form.
Mr. Yowell moved, Mr. Rimeikis seconded, approval of the report and recommendation for
submission to council. The motion carried by voice vote.
Designation of Consent Agenda Item – R/R Re: Approval of Water Services Agreement

Projects Summary:
Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) Digester and Headworks Project
WW Associates has completed construction plans and a project manual for the WPCF digester and headworks
project. Staff compiled this information into a bid package and worked with Town procurement to advertise an
invitation to bid for construction of this project on May 25, 2022. A pre-bid meeting was held on June 15, 2022,
with prospective bidders. Construction bids were opened at 2 pm, Thursday, July 14, 2022. Based on the bids
received, Council awarded MEB the project construction contract at their September 13, 2022, meeting. A pre-
construction meeting with MEB was held on November 10, 2022, with a notice to proceed issued on December 1,
2022. The new Alfa Laval centrifuge was delivered on February 10, 2023 and MEB has been on site multiple
times completing pre-construction surveys. In June 2023, MEB continued mobilization and completed demolition
of the RAS pump station and secondary clarifiers to accommodate retrofit of new aerobic digester equipment in
existing basins. From July 2023 through June 2024, MEB continued retrofit of the former secondary clarifiers for
conversion to new aerobic digesters, installed yard piping, converted primary clarifier valves and initiated scope
of work for installing new centrifuge. Two new headworks screens were installed and placed into service in
February 2024. Three new blowers were installed for supplying the new aerobic digesters in April 2024. The
new motor control center and programmable logic control cabinet for the new centrifuge were installed in the
biosolids building in May 2024. The new centrifuge was installed in May 2025. Acceptance testing for the new
centrifuge has been completed and the 30 day trial run of new unit has commenced. Installation of groundwater
dewatering system for the aerobic digesters has been completed and is operating.
Drought Response
Completed distribution system connection for TOC X2A in March 2025—awaiting installation of fluoridation

Agenda Item Summary
Committee:
Light & Power and Environmental Services Committee
Title:
FY2026 Budget Amendment for Emergency Replacement of a 1000 kW Generator at the Water
Pollution Control Facility
Background:
On June 7, 2025, a 1000 kW emergency generator serving the Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)
process at the Water Pollution Control Facility malfunctioned and was damaged beyond repair. This
emergency generator is a DEQ permit requirement and critical for sustaining plant operations.
Town staff responded to this emergency with contract electrical services and rental of a mobile 1000
kW generator. The cost for mobile generator rental with Carter CAT for two months was $61,712.80
and was charged to the Wastewater Treatment department budget.
Additionally, Town staff solicited quotes for replacing the failed 1000 kW generator and determined
the lowest cost provider was Fidelity Engineering Corp at a cost of $448,300. An emergency PO was
issued to purchase the new generator and was charged to the Wastewater Treatment department
budget.
These expenses were unanticipated during the development of the FY2026 Wastewater Fund budget
and will exceed available budget funds for this fiscal year. Staff recommends increases to the
Wastewater Treatment department budget to cover these items.
Financial Impact:
The total financial impact is an increase to the Wastewater Treatment department budget in the
amount of $510,013, with funds to be transferred from the Wastewater Fund reserves.
Recommendation:
Page 28 of 29
That Town Council approves a transfer of $510,013 from Wastewater Fund reserves to increase
Wastewater Treatment budget expense line 40094700-53201, equipment rental in the amount of
$61,713 and to increase Wastewater Treatment budget expense line 40094700-77200, machinery &
equipment in the amount of $448,300 to cover the FY2026 budget overage resulting from the
emergency costs of replacing the Water Pollution Control Facility’s 1000 kW generator.
