Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Fairfield public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Lake Manor sewage lift station replacement
The 1970s-era lift station is near the end of its life; engineering is funded now for a 2027 replacement that also supports growth in the Gray Road corridor.
Fire hydrant restoration
A contractor will restore about 20% of the city's fire hydrants this summer; residents may see silver or white primer coats before the final yellow paint.
Hunter Road water tank rehabilitation
The city's 3-million-gallon Hunter Road tank — the main tank for the south side, including Mercy Hospital — will be cleaned, repaired and repainted starting late August for $244,560.
Crestview Drive Storm Sewer Repair
A 60-inch storm sewer pipe under Crestview Drive, installed in 1976, is developing holes and risks causing sinkholes that could damage the road and nearby homes. Lining the pipe now prevents a much costlier failure.
Electric aggregation program renewal
Council authorized a new electric aggregation deal capped at 10.199 cents/kWh. The current program has saved participants over $2.5 million, but volatile energy markets may force a temporary pause before relaunch.
