Atlanta committee backs up to $18.25 million to renew treatment-plant solids hauling

Atlanta's City Utilities Committee recommended renewing the city's annual hauling and disposal contract with Synagro South for up to $18.25 million. The work concerns solids from water and wastewater treatment plants. The resolution proposes exercising the first renewal option, subject to adoption of the fiscal 2028 budget.

The existing agreement's initial term runs through Oct. 31, 2026, according to the resolution. The committee marked the item favorable and listed Oct. 5 as its next checkpoint; the minutes do not establish an executed renewal.
