During a recent council meeting, officials addressed a significant water leak incident that occurred over the weekend, impacting City Hall. The leak, identified by Monty, Verizon, Hoover, and the police department, was traced back to a fire suppression line outside the building.

Upon discovery, the water department was promptly notified and took immediate action to isolate the leak. However, the flooding had already affected the north parking lot, leading to water entering the storm drain and subsequently clogging the drainage system at Forest View Hall. This resulted in water accumulation in the vestibule of City Hall.

In response to the flooding, city staff quickly mobilized to remove the water, employing fans and carpet cleaners to mitigate damage. The council expressed gratitude for the swift response from the various departments involved in addressing the situation. Further discussions on preventive measures and infrastructure improvements may follow to avoid similar incidents in the future.
