Memorandum

Your approval is requested to authorize a Purchase Order with Trojan Technologies in the amount of $123,000.00 for replacement parts to maintain the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system at the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

Funds to finance this purchase are included in the approved FY 20 WWTP Operation and Maintenance Budget of the Sewage Disposal System.
