The report can be found in the Agenda Packet. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 8. NEW BUSINESS a. Discuss Draft 2026 Utility Budget Administrator Cherek handed out a Draft Utility Budget to the Commission and began discussion showing a downward trend in consumption over the past 2 years. Cherek supplied 2 different Wastewater Budgets based on proposed sewer rates for 2026. With no change to sewer rates the proposed Wastewater Budget shows a deficit of $89,665. The Proposed Wastewater Budget for 2026 with a 5% sewer rate increase shows a deficit of $52,498. Cassie Lang Village Clerk / Deputy Treasurer The Commission and Cherek discussed the Cure-In-Place-Piping project approved with the Capital Improvement Plan. A rate increase of approximately 8% is needed to cover costs of project. Cherek noted the Utility has not increased sewer rates to account for inflation. He believes a 16% increase (8% for CIPP and 8% for inflation) over 3 years would get the Wastewater Budget closer to the positive, along with checking consumption numbers to see if they trend back to normal levels. After discussion the Commission guided Cherek to present them with a 2026 Proposed Utility Budget reflecting a 5.5% increase to Wastewater Rates and using the Utility Fund Balance to cover the deficit amount. Cherek will draft a resolution for 5.5% Wastewater rate increase for the next 2 years and have the Commission review revenue/consumption values in 2027 to determine the amount to increase rates for 2028. The Resolution and Utility Budget will be presented for approval at the October 29 th meeting. 9. SCHEDULED MEETINGS a. Regular Meeting: Wednesday, October 29, 2025 – 4:00 p.m. b.

Marathon City Utility Operations & Facilities Report for October 2025 Water Treatment Facility Report The water facility is operating well and meeting all the testing requirements. The clearwell at the water treatment facility is scheduled to be physically inspected (entering inside the tank) sometime in November 2025. This will require us to bypass the clearwell and obtain 2 safe bac-t drinking water samples, before it can be put back in service. The clearwell is expected to be out of service for approximately 2-3 days. UPDATE – We are still waiting on confirmation from Lane Tank Company, as to when this inspection will be scheduled. In addition to the clearwell, a visual inspection of both the east and west retention tanks, the backwash basin, and the aeration tank (aerator), will also be inspected, as required by the DNR. The pumping equipment and electric motor are to be refurbished for Well #1, and should be completed sometime this week. Water Well Solutions should be here in the next couple of weeks to reinstall the equipment and put Well #1 back in service. The Utility declined to proceed with the smaller 6” screen installation due to costs, required DNR approval, and an uncertain outcome attributable to obvious risks associated with the procedure (cleaning & installation of the screen). UPDATE – The pumping equipment in Well 1 was reinstalled by Water Well Solutions on October 14th. Two safe bac-t water samples were collected on October 14th and 15th. Both samples came back safe from the laboratory. Well 1 was temporarily put back in service on October 17th, until Aaron Martin, Waterworks Operator, noticed the check valve was failing when the pump was off, allowing water to drain back into the well. A new check valve has been ordered. Once the check valve is replaced, the well will be put back in service. The well should be put back in service within the next couple of weeks. Fall watermain distribution flushing began on Wednesday, October 22 nd. Flushing activities are expected to continue for approximately 2 weeks, through November 5th. Wastewater Treatment Facility Report The wastewater treatment plant met all WPDES permit limits for the months of September 2025. A drawdown test was conducted by Vierbicher Associates on the Trailer Court Lift Station. This was done to determine GPM@TDH. William Reid will use the design characteristics to match motor and pump size, to meet those requirements. UPDATE – 8/25 – The new pumps and motors were installed at the lift station. After start- up, cavitation was still noticeable on both pumps. UPDATE – 9/25 – I have forwarded the start-up report to Vierbicher Associates for review. I have also requested the Pump Test Certification Form from Smith & Loveless. The Utility will wait for recommendations from either Vierbicher or William Reid on how to proceed. Wastewater Treatment Facility Report (Continued) UPDATE – 10/25 – Vierbicher responded after reviewing the start-up reports. They believe the pumps should be operating farther to the right side of the pump curve (increased flow or gpm at the same TDH). They also recommended to have a vibration analysis done to see if the cavitation/vibration is within acceptable industry standards. Paul Ludwig, William Reid, called me on October 21st. He thinks performing a vibration analysis is a waste of money. We know the pumps are cavitating, even if it is less than the cavitation of the previous pumps. He is going to conduct a deeper review of the data gathered, and consult with Smith & Loveless for their recommendations. He will respond back to me within the next few weeks. Wastewater Regulatory Requirements: 1) The Utility received a letter from the DNR requesting additional information, for determination of eligibility of the Multi-Discharger Phosphorus Variance. SUMMER 2025 – Strand Associates, on behalf of the Village, submitted a letter to the DNR, that included any additional information as requested by the DNR. UPDATE 9/25 – The DNR issued a letter of denial, dated 8/8/25, regarding our application for the Multi-Discharger Phosphorus Variance. The notification came through an email from Matt Claucherty, Permits Section - WDNR, on 9/4/25. UPDATE 10/25 – Nick Lindstrom, WDNR Wastewater Basin Engineer, reached out to me regarding our Phosphorus Compliance Options. He is requesting the Village select a new Phosphorus Compliance Option for our next WPDES permit. Since the MDV has been denied, the only 2 options the Utility has are; meet the effluent phosphorus limit at the wastewater treatment plant through chemical addition, or convert the contract with Miltrim Farms to a Water Quality Trade contract. I have requested a meeting with Andy Johnson, third party administrator between Miltrim Farms and the Village, to discuss future options, before making any decisions. 2) I have requested a copy of the WPDES draft permit, prior to the 30-day public notice. The DNR has agreed to send me a copy of the draft permit and fact sheet. As of the meeting, I have not received a copy of the draft permit, which leads me to suspect they will not reissue our permit on time. Our current permit is set to expire on September 30 th, 2025. If the new permit is not reissued on time, we continue operations under our current permit. UPDATE – Additional effluent zinc testing has been requested by the DNR, due to one higher than normal result collected during the testing period, conducted during the permit application process. I am currently in the process of collecting 3 more effluent samples for zinc analysis. A Chemical Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the addition of Alum, was also requested by the DNR, in order to reduce our WET (Whole Effluent Toxicity Testing) frequency in our next permit term. I have completed the SOP and submitted it to the DNR for review.
