THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Empire’s 2027 enterprise fund plan calls for rehabilitating and painting the existing water tower for $650,000 and issuing $8,550,000 in revenue bonds for design, engineering, and construction of a new north end water tower. Bond payments are to be covered by water enterprise revenues, not the tax levy. The city also flags aging lift stations and watermains near a proposed south‑of‑205th residential development that may require unbudgeted replacements, creating near‑term capital project needs.
Details discussed at June 30, 2026 budget work session; projects not yet out to bid; lift station and watermain work for south of 205th Street subdivision noted as likely but currently unbudgeted.
