body
Background:
Eckert Cold Storage (Eckert) is a food processor in the City of Manteca (City), discharging its industrial wastewater to a dedicated collection and disposal system, known as the Industrial Sewer System. The Industrial Sewer System conveys Eckert’s industrial wastewater around the City’s sanitary sewer collection system and the City’s Wastewater Quality Control Facility (WQCF) into a lined pond to be aerated then discharged to City owned farmland adjacent to the WQCF. In 2009, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1439, establishing the industrial sewer service charges for Eckert, to cover the cost of treating the water, as well as operation and maintenance of the dedicated pipeline. This process has been active annually since 2009, and the ordinance has been updated through the years.
On November 18, 2025, the City entered into a three-year agreement with Eckert to facilitate the operation of the industrial sewer service, in lieu of amending the ordinance annually. With the agreement in place, the Manteca Municipal Code (MMC) Section 13.16.011 needs to be repealed.
Fiscal Impact:
There are no costs associated with repealing MMC Section 13.16.011.
