Description
In 2012 the Village of Copper City proposed an external consolidation of services with neighboring municipalities as potential partners wherein a single individual might serve as the certified Water Systems Operator for multiple village. The Village had been paying its water systems operator a large salary for relatively small amounts of work. Sharing an Operator with another jursidiction would yield a reduction in costs to our village in satisfying the operational requirements of our Water Systems Management, and potentially enable the partnering municipality to see a reduction in their own costs as well;
However, this project has been dropped due to lack of progress. We were unable to find a jursdiction or operator willing to partner in this capacity. This was a barrier to implementation. Nevertheless, the Village has located a new water systems operator who is willing to undertake additional duties for a lesser rate of pay. This will result in a savings of about $600.00 per year performing duties that Street Commission staff or other water system staff would have to undertake. Further savings may yet be realized in assigning additional duties to this staff position with compensation for a increase in salary which would be less than that currently paid to another water system staff monthly for turn off/on and meter reading. This consolidation may be proposed for 2014.
