The 30-second brief
100 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Town of Empire's meetings, most in transportation and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 27: The October 15, 2026 Minnesota Department of Health letter said Empire's source water did not cause the copper exceedance and that the results should be used to create an optimal corrosion control treatment (OCCT) plan. The city still needs a plan to address the copper action level exceedance in homes with interior plumbing issues. That creates a clear water-utility consulting and treatment-design opportunity, but no procurement was started in this packet.
