With no resolutions or ordinances to deal with on its agenda, the only real business the Cheney City Council did at its Aug. 11 meeting was pay bills. Council voted unanimously to pay vouchers in the amount of $422,731.11, and payroll totaling $851,127.19.
Council did receive an information report from Public Works Director Todd Ableman on water use in the city along with ideas for conservation measures in the future. Those conservation measures include better communication, watering amounts and watering fees along with encouraging more drought-tolerant landscaping and programs to reduce and eliminate watering.
Also being considered is installing piping that would enable irrigation-only wells to provide water to more green spaces, along with possibly using reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment plant for irrigation.
