Article, the rights of the City with respect to the receipt and application of any proceeds of
insurance shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the rights of any lender under a

that will implement a non-contact cooling system utilizing city water to cool oil pipelines.
This process will produce heated, yet uncontaminated, wastewater that requires treatment
before being discharged. Currently, the city does not have the capacity to handle the
additional wastewater without risking permit violations. To address this, the agreement
stipulates that Enbridge will invest $1.1 million in system improvements, including UV
[20260616R 47]
PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE – 6/04/2026 Meeting (Meets monthly on 1st Thursday at 5 p.m.) Page 4 of 5
*Attended virtually
disinfection, to enhance capacity and prevent untreated discharges during overflow events.
This initiative is anticipated to generate substantial new revenue for the city through
wastewater fees and increased terminal tax revenue, with a projected payback period of six
to seven years, while also improving water quality by minimizing untreated discharges into
local waterways.
During discussions, committee members and Enbridge representatives examined various
technical aspects, such as pipeline integrity, temperature control, and measures to prevent oil
contamination in the wastewater system. The project will incorporate multiple monitoring
systems and emergency shutoff mechanisms to ensure safety. Scheduled for completion by
late 2027 or early 2028, the project will proceed through phased construction and permitting
processes, allowing the city to maintain flexibility in implementing the necessary capacity
improvements.

design plans for the Dwight’s Point Phase II Project at an estimated cost of $115,500.00.
Director Carlson announced that the project, funded by the Wisconsin Coastal Management
Program and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration grants, aims to replace
outdated culverts with modern, environmentally friendly designs to enhance stream health
and facilitate fish passage. The design plans, currently at 60% completion, are set to reach
full completion this year. Construction will commence once additional funding is obtained.

5. RECURRING BUSINESS
5.1 ESD Director’s Update – Received and Filed
5.2 Director Update –
5.1.1 The Spring Cleanup was successful this year; however, it is essential to address the
Spring Cleanup Ordinance in a future meeting.
5.1.2 The Sidewalk Replacement Program is set to commence shortly, with a contractor
scheduled to arrive on North Tower Avenue to address and grind down any tripping
hazards.
5.1.3 The Lead Service Line Project is progressing as planned, with Hanco Utilities
officially involved. A recent pre-construction meeting was held with representatives
from Hanco, LHB, and Superior Water, Light & Power. Construction is set to
commence in the midtown area around June 8th.
5.1.4 Tower Avenue roadway construction is paused while the contractor for the lead
service line replacement project does their lead line work between Belknap and North
28th. When the Tower roadway project commences, the roadway will be milled and
asphalt overlaid. This is an alteration from the original plan to diamond grind the
surface. The change results in increased cost of $363K, but also in a better, more
reliable, and smoother surface. The increased cost is paid for by budgeted funding for
roadway paving.
5.3 Future Agenda Items
5.1.1 Discuss Water Utility Acquisition
5.1.2 Spring Cleanup Ordinance
5.4 Confirm the next meeting date as July 2, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in Room 204 of the
Government Center.

Memorandum of Recommendation
DATE: February 25, 2026
TO: Mayor Jim Paine and the Common Council
FROM: Chris Carlson, Assistant Public Works Director
RE: Ordinance Revision: Chapter 58 Article IV Recyclable Waste Materials
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently conducted a periodic audit of our recycling program. Part of
the audit was a review of our Chapter 58 recycling ordinance. The stated purpose of Chapter 58 Article IV is to, “stress
source reduction, recycling and composting in a cost effective and efficient manner as the highest priorities in the
development of an effective recycling program”.
As a result of the review, the DNR suggested a few changes with Chapter 58 Article IV. The changes bring our ordinance into
agreement with current state requirements. The requested changes are included in the red-lined ordinance draft following
this memo. The revised ordinance also includes minor formatting and grammatical clean-up performed by staff.
The two substantive changes requested by the DNR to the proposed ordinance are:
1. Sec. 58-105 – Correction of statute code reference from Wis. Stats. § 287.05 to 287.11. The latter is the correct
code reference governing effective recycling programs for municipalities.
2. Adding references to foam polystyrene packaging (Styrofoam) into the ordinance noting that it is not a recyclable
material and is to be placed in the garbage.
Adoption of the proposed Chapter 58 ordinance revisions will satisfy the DNR’s audit and ensure that our recycling ordinance
remains contemporary and enforceable.

3. Flow Meter
3.1 Was the influent flow meter calibrated in the last year?
Yes Enter last calibration date (MM/DD/YYYY)
2025-05-05
No
If No, please explain:
N/A
4. Sewer Use Ordinance
4.1 Did your community have a sewer use ordinance that limited or prohibited the discharge of
excessive conventional pollutants ((C)BOD, SS, or pH) or toxic substances to the sewer from
industries, commercial users, hauled waste, or residences?
Yes
No
If No, please explain:
N/A
4.2 Was it necessary to enforce the ordinance?
Yes
No
If Yes, please explain:
We had two industries who exceeded conventional pollutants and who were charged surcharges.
We had one industry who was in violation of local limits, resulting in a Notice of Violation but
corrected the action immediately. In addition, we had one industry who failed to report
monitoring results which resulted in significant non-compliance.
5. Septage Receiving
5.1 Did you have requests to receive septage at your facility?
Septic Tanks Holding Tanks Grease Traps
Yes Yes Yes
No No No
5.2 Did you receive septage at your facility? If yes, indicate volume in gallons.
Septic Tanks
Yes 164,950 gallons
No
Holding Tanks
Yes 4,140,675 gallons
No
Grease Traps
Yes 187,498 gallons
No
5.2.1 If yes to any of the above, please explain if plant performance is affected when receiving
any of these wastes.
Plant performance does not appear to be affected by hauled waste as it is a small percentage of
the total loading to the plant. It is possible that toxic agents may enter the treatment process
through hauled waste but there were no proven instances of this in 2025. The hauled waste
station contains the waste, aerates it, and bleeds it into the main plant flow.
6. Pretreatment
6.1 Did your facility experience operational problems, permit violations, biosolids quality concerns,
or hazardous situations in the sewer system or treatment plant that were attributable to
commercial or industrial discharges in the last year?
Page 2 of 32
[20260616R 67]
Compliance Maintenance Annual Report
Superior Sewage Disposal System Last Updated: Reporting For:

Yes
No
If yes, describe the situation and your community's response.
N/A
6.2 Did your facility accept hauled industrial wastes, landfill leachate, etc.?
Yes
No
If yes, describe the types of wastes received and any procedures or other restrictions that were
in place to protect the facility from the discharge of hauled industrial wastes.
We accepted hauled industrial waste from a remediation project after they completed an
application and provided representative lab results. In addition, we accepted industrial waste
from a facility via hauler after lab results were provided and approved for discharge. We also
received sewered leachate from Duluth Superior Landfill (an industry monitored through the
City's Industrial Pretreatment program) and the City's municipal landfill. The City's municipal
landfill controls flow during rain events (as needed) and monitors its leachate and discharges
through its own DNR permits.

Please include additional comments about your sanitary sewer collection system below:
The City of Superior wastewater collection system includes a publicly separated sanitary system
as well as a combined sanitary and stormwater system. Maintenance activity calculations are
based upon a sanitary and combined sewer system of 145 miles and 2545 manholes. Significant
rain events are taken into consideration when evaluating the reported number of Basement
Backup Occurrences and the reported Number of Complaints. During significant events the
design capacity of the sewer system is exceeded. The system meets the performance standard
as stated in the definition for Number of Complaints. Calls received from customers during these
periods are not related to a performance issue. Additionally, during these events it is
indeterminate whether a basement backup or complaint is generated due to surcharging of the
municipal collection system, due to private plumbing concerns or due to a combination of both.
For these reasons of performance and accurateness, the Basement Backup Occurrences
reported and the Number of Complaints reported excludes those occurring during significant
rain events.

What actions were taken, or are underway, to reduce or eliminate SSO or TFO occurences in the future?
Staff were dispatched to the SSO location, an easement Jetter was used to open the line and clear grease blockage. This
line has since been televised and added to routine cleaning program.
5. Infiltration / Inflow (I/I)
5.1 Was infiltration/inflow (I/I) significant in your community last year?
Yes
No
If Yes, please describe:
The City of Superior collection system includes a publicly separated sanitary system as well as a
combined sanitary and stormwater system. In the separated sanitary system the public sources
of inflow were addressed by sewer separation, but private sources were not. Consequently, the
City experiences significant contributions to inflow and infiltration from private sources such as
foundation drains as well as from aging, non-watertight building sewers.
5.2 Has infiltration/inflow and resultant high flows affected performance or created problems in
your collection system, lift stations, or treatment plant at any time in the past year?
Yes
No
If Yes, please describe:
5.3 Explain any infiltration/inflow (I/I) changes this year from previous years:
Efforts as described below continue to identify, measure, and mitigate the impacts of inflow and
infiltration to the collection system.
5.4 What is being done to address infiltration/inflow in your collection system?
Page 28 of 32
[20260616R 93]
Compliance Maintenance Annual Report
Superior Sewage Disposal System Last Updated: Reporting For:
5/22/2026 2025
Control of inflow and infiltration begins at the design level and continues through the
construction, inspection, maintenance and operation of collection system facilities.
Project planning and specifications for City construction projects adhere to applicable state and
federal rules governing sewer construction methods including State of Wisconsin Department of
Transportation Standard Specifications for Highway and Structure Construction as well as
conform to Standard Specifications for Sewer and Water Construction in Wisconsin. Plans and
specifications for construction include inflow and infiltration prevention measures to exclude clear
water from the sewer system. Construction activities are inspected and monitored to ensure
compliance with plans and specifications throughout the construction phase.
CCTV inspection of the circular combined and sanitary sewers less than or equal to 48 inches in
diameter once every 10 years and inspection of all combined and sanitary manholes once every
15 years coupled with a smoke testing and flow monitoring program all work to investigate and
identify areas of I/I needing to be addressed.
A Stormwater Flood Control Program (SFCP) initiated and managed by the City is part of a long
term approach for planning how the City manages stormwater runoff in an effort reduce inflow
and infiltration and to protect public health, safety, and the environment. The program addresses
private sources of inflow and infiltration by educating property owners and providing technical
and financial assistance with removal of clear water sources from the sanitary sewer.
Flow monitoring and analysis of collection system capacity coupled with a developing hydraulic &
hydrologic model demonstrate where inflow and infiltration sources are significant and are
impacting sewer capacity. Information provided by the model will aid in planning of sewer system
modifications.
Public education programs are designed to inform of the environmental and fiscal impacts of
inflow and infiltration. Programs include, but are not limited to, rain barrel workshops and rain
garden demonstration areas.

One SSO occurred from the collection system during the reporting period. The SSO issued from
MH060523 on 8/4/2025 after a grease blockage occurred in the sewer segment downstream. The
affected segment was cleaned using an easement jetter and debris was removed from the site.
To prevent reoccurrence, this line segment has been added to the routine grease cutting list.
Also, in early 2026, Collection System staff inspected the line that was involved in the SSO and
found a utility penetration that had caused damage. This may have been a factor in the SSO, but
we are unaware of when the utility damage occurred. The utility contractor is currently planning
to repair the damage section of pipe the week of May 24th, 2026.

minimum one each lift
2. Trench Backfill Material – Depth of Cover Less than 14 feet: Take three tests every
100 feet of trench. Test when trench has been backfilled halfway, when trench is 3 feet
below finished grade and when trench has been completely backfilled.
3. Trench Backfill Material – Depth of Cover Equal to or Greater than 14 feet: Take four
tests every 100 feet of trench. Test when trench 1/3 and 2/3 backfilled, when trench is
at 3 feet below finished grade and when completely backfilled.
4. Recompact and retest areas of backfill tested that did not meet minimum requirements.

to the test section and to monitor air pressure inside the pipe.
5. Connect an air hose between compressor (or other source of compressed air) and
control equipment.
6. Add air to pipe section. Mon itor air pressure so pressure inside pipe does not exceed
5.0 psig.
7. When pressure reaches 4.0 psig, stop air supply so internal pressure is maintained for
two (2) minutes, which allows air temperature to come into equilibrium with the pipe
walls.
8. During this time, check plugs with soap solu tion to detect any plug leakage. If plugs
are found to leak, bleed off air, tighten plugs, and begin again by supplying air.
9. After temperature has been allowed to st abilize for two (2) mi nutes, disconnect air
supply and allow pressure to decrease to 3.5 psig.
10. At 3.5 psig, start stopwatch to determine time required for pressure to drop to 2.5 psig.
11. Provide corrective measures for any line not meeting requirements.
12. Test results are usually better if sewer pipe walls are damp at time of testing.
13. Time shall be equal to or greater than the allowable time shown in the below table.
