Union County Water owns and operates five Water Reclamation Facilities.

Over time debris such as rags, grit, sludge and other debris build up in the tanks and must be removed and disposed of offsite.
The Procurement Department partnered with Union County Water to issue Request for Proposals #2026-044 Aeration Tank Cleaning. On March 17, 2026, five proposals were received and reviewed by an evaluation team in accordance with applicable evaluation criteria for this project. As a result, the team requests approval to enter into a contract with the top scoring/ranked preferred offeror, Wind River Environmental, LLC, to provide Aeration Tank Cleaning services. This contract has a term of one year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The anticipated cost for this service is $250,000. Sufficient funds were allocated in the FY26 Budget to cover costs associated with this agreement.
