Warsaw City Council Monday approved increasing the amount of ammonia allowed to be dropped off at the Warsaw Wastewater Treatment Utility facility.
The limit increased from 30 milligrams per liter to 100 milligrams per liter.
Brian Davison, facility manager, said a study was conducted in 2005 that showed the facility could handle 331 milligrams of ammonia per liter."Increasing the ammonia limit will make it easier for industries to meet our ordinance," Davison said.
In other business, the council approved a street light to be installed on Kincaide Street.
Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins said Clerk-Treasurer Elaine Call has sent out budget forms to department heads for the 2010 budget.
The council also:
n Approved creating a new position of storm water coordinator at the wastewater treatment utility facility with a $1,716.92 maximum bi-weekly salary.
n Approved transferring $2,000 from professional services to printing and advertising.
The transfer is necessary to purchase want ads, envelopes and stationary. Unusual high turn-over at Warsaw Police Department has caused human resources to advertise for more positions than normal.
n Approved Warsaw amending its redevelopment plan for its Central Redevelopment District in order to add 337 N. Buffalo St. to the plan's acquisition list.
The city recently updated the plans to include the construction of Buffalo Street Boulevard and a new city hall.
