4. Ozone Destruction System Replacement – Noland WRRF
The City of Fayetteville utilizes ozone to eliminate potentially harmful bacteria and organic
compounds from the millions of gallons of treated water produced by the Paul R Noland
Wastewater Treatment facility every day. This unique treatment process ensures an unmatched
level of protection for the White River Watershed.

The use of an ozone destruct unit is an essential safety measure when dealing with high
concentrations of ozone. The original units have operated every hour of every day for nearly 15
years in a highly corrosive environment at the Noland Wastewater Treatment Facility. Since
their installation, it has been determined that the original units are undersized to meet the
current ozone destruction requirements.

Discussion on purchasing replacement units.

5. Sewer Service Request – Washington County
Mr. Foster is building a home at 2484 S. Dead Horse Mountain Road. The property is in
Washington county but is adjacent to the city limits and can physically access sanitary sewer.
Water service is already available and approved. Staff supports approval of a sewer service tap

6. Code Updates; Chapter 51.145
City Staff recommends code adjustments to Chapter 51.145 regarding address number
requirements on new buildings. This section of code is enforced by the meter division and the
code is out of date with actual practices. Clear, visible address numbers are critical for
emergency services to identify correct properties in-field, including during adverse weather or
nighttime conditions. Staff will present the existing and proposed language.
