BowSel study prompts in-house hydrant testing after Public Works repairs five remaining leaks
Summary
Town staff reported BowSel's water-loss study identified multiple leak sources; Public Works repaired most and will handle remaining testing and placarding in-house after discontinuing BowSel services due to scheduling conflicts.
The BowSel comprehensive water-loss study identified several potential sources of loss in the town's water system; town staff reported that Public Works has repaired all but five of the identified leaks and will complete the remaining repairs.
Town staff said the town is discontinuing services with BowSel because the company's weekday availability prevented Public Works from being present during testing. Public Works will conduct hydrant flow testing internally using available equipment, and placards indicating flow rates are being placed on hydrants ahead of painting.
The meeting minutes do not specify the cost of BowSel's work or the schedule for the remaining five repairs. Council members directed Public Works to continue the work and to report back with completion status and any resource needs at a future meeting.
