The Riverside City Council recently held a special meeting regarding their water and wastewater operations. Mayor Allen Schneider said since he was elected six months ago, this has been something they’ve been taking a look at. They had some issues with staffing they needed to address, as they’re losing one of their operators in the next two weeks. So they wanted to make sure they had everything in place to have continuity of operations.
The council approved a contract with PeopleServices Inc. from Omaha, Nebraska, to handle their water and wastewater, though Schneider said the date that will start is up in the air. They hope to have that finalized by their August 1st council meeting.
