The City of Hood River will be making repairs to the Ultraviolet light disinfection system in its wastewater treatment plant. City Manager Steve Wheeler says the lights in the nearly 20-year-old system have begun to go out, and they need to be fixed to maintain proper treatment of effluent that goes into the Columbia River. Cost of the repairs is just over $48,600. Wheeler noted while this repair was not anticipated in the current budget, there are several Sewer Capital Fund projects to make it possible savings on those efforts could pay for it, and if not there is over 51-thousand dollars of contingency funds in the sewer budget for this kind of situation.
