those problems and you've kept up with it.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay, thank you. Just a follow up. So do we sometimes use that phrase as shorthand when we talk about actually
spraying that stuff on the inside of the lines to preserve them? | thought they called that CMOM?
Unidentified Male Speaker
You mean like a liner? Well that’s CIPP. That's secured in place pipeline.
Alderwoman Lu
| was just mixing up the two.
Unidentified Male Speaker
Yeah it’s a different acronym.
Alderwoman Lu
Okay, thank you. They both start with “C”. Thank you.
Alderman Caron
Yes, thank you. So since this facility is in Ward 7, | first want to thank you for taking the time to in the last four or five
years, doing all this maintenance and catching up because you were lacking on some of that. | know it was a lot of
money but as the Mayor said earlier, people rely on the wastewater treatment plant. But if it goes down, it doesn't just
affect one or two people, it affects the city as a whole. So | think this is really a good way to proceed and | like that idea
that you're going to review this every year annually — rates. Doing increases can be very hard and difficult specially for
seniors but if you set it up So that the increments are a little bit lower over a long period of time, | think people will accept
that as well. | probably could have answered my own question but with all these regulations that EPA sends down, do
they ever send you any money?
Unidentified Male Speaker
No.
Alderman Caron
You know it's wonderful to make these mandates and | understand that, you know, because you want a cleaner
environment and you don't want this going into why rivers and streams but people also need to understand that these
communities need help in being able to do this work. So | think that's great. In talking about infrastructure, Harvard
Street had a major breakdown. | think it was a year or so ago and that street was closed until you could get it because
you didn't realize how bad that pipe was over there. So kudos to you. | don't envy your job. I've been there plenty of
times but | think it's important for the community to Know that this is very important and vital like the Police and Fire
Department to our community. So whatever you need, people have to understand that it's not frivolous. It's very
important to the community but thank you so much. | appreciate it.
