The expense report shows multiple payments to Deans Inc. for services coded as equipment maintenance and SCADA maintenance under the water fund (505) and equipment maintenance under the wastewater fund (503), as well as garage-related services. This indicates active maintenance and support agreements for critical water and wastewater infrastructure and their control systems. These entries signal that Artesia uses external vendors to support SCADA and mechanical systems, creating an ongoing need for controls integration, cybersecurity, hardware replacement, and system upgrades. Vendors in SCADA, industrial controls, OT cybersecurity, and utility maintenance can approach the City to discuss bolstering resilience, modernizing control systems, and planning for future upgrades or redundancy.

Budget Planning

The Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal is adopting a new Industrial Park Sewer Rate By-law to set user rates for the sanitary sewer system on County Road 2 and in the Edwardsburgh Cardinal Industrial Park. The by-law establishes a fixed monthly charge plus volumetric rates for operations, maintenance, and capital replacement, with revenues for capital replacement directed to an Industrial Park Sewers Reserve Fund. Implementation is scheduled to begin July 1, 2026, with monthly billing and interest penalties on overdue accounts, replacing the prior 2025-33 by-law. This creates a dedicated funding stream that will support ongoing and future sewer collection and treatment system maintenance and capital replacement projects, which may require engineering, construction, asset management, and utility billing support services. Vendors can position around helping the Township plan and deliver upcoming sewer capital replacement projects and optimize billing and collections processes linked to the new rate structure.

Capital replacement portion of the volumetric rate is earmarked for the Industrial Park Sewers Reser...

The 2025 Consumer Confidence Report notes that Somerset’s drinking water comes from Somerset Lake and Lake St. Joseph, and that these surface water sources are considered susceptible to contamination from agricultural runoff, septic systems, oil and gas wells, and road crossings. The report explicitly states that water quality impacts can be further decreased by implementing measures to protect these lakes and references a separate Drinking Water Source Assessment report available from the Village. This indicates an ongoing need for planning and potential projects around source water protection, monitoring, and related infrastructure or programmatic controls, but no specific vendor or project has yet been identified. For vendors, this is a forward-looking signal to help the Village design and prioritize protective measures such as watershed planning, runoff control, monitoring systems, or public education tied to these two lakes. A useful next conversation would explore what recommendations exist in the Drinking Water Source Assessment and what technical, consulting, or equipment support the Village needs to implement them cost-effectively.

Source water assessment report is already completed and can guide potential protective projects; pub...

The item references ROW Permit No. 2026010044 and Utility Connection Project (UCP) No. 26‑0021, indicating planned connection to county utility infrastructure via work in the right-of-way. Approval of this developer’s agreement will formalize responsibilities, timing, and standards for the utility connection but no construction contractor or utility installer is named yet. Once finalized, the project will require trenching, piping, service connection, restoration, and inspection consistent with the ROW and UCP permits. Utility contractors and materials suppliers can engage with the developer’s engineer and county utilities staff to position for the connection work and any associated off-site upgrades.

Developer’s agreement will govern utility connection work in county right-of-way for the Madaan proj...
