Vale and the City are meeting regularly as part of the Water Treatment Plant transfer to the City (Vale).

The water treatment plant will not be transferred to the City by the New Year as originally hoped for.

The City and Vale has been discussing the transfer since last year when they announced they would be developing a letter of intent. Since then, regular meetings between the two have been continuing.

In June, two public open house meetings were held, during which time residents were told that the assets would be handed over, ideally by January 1, 2016.

However, City Manager Gary Ceppetelli says a final date for the transfer has not been set yet, and that discussions with Vale are ongoing.
