The Emily City Council approved use of the city sewer system by three septic pump contractors, according to draft minutes for the Feb. 10 meeting.
The three contractors would have their deposits measured by the main lift station. They would then be charged $30 per thousand gallons of wastewater, and be expected to turn in weekly tickets for dumpage. The city has the authority to terminate this agreement at any time at the city's discretion based on pond levels.
In other business, the council:
• Approved purchase of new AED pads.
• Scheduled two public informational meetings Thursday, Feb. 26, regarding plans for the reconstruction of State Highway 6 through Emily. The meeting for businesses will be at 4 p.m. and the meeting for the general public will be at 5:30 p.m., both at city hall.

• Learned the city hall cameras have been installed and are working.
