Belpre officials review water infrastructure: tank visit, booster stations, well signage, generator work
Summary
City officials toured the composite water tank factory, inspected booster and lift stations to craft a repair plan, and reported progress on well signage and a generator project; staff also described a separate metering and radio resync issue.
City officials and water department staff reported several ongoing water and utilities projects during the Belpre City Council meeting, including a factory visit for the city’s new water tank, inspections of booster and lift stations for a repair plan, work on well-field generator equipment and signage, and a metering/radio resynchronization issue tied to the MXU project.
Councilman Ambrose and the mayor said representatives from the water department toured the factory building the city’s next composite storage tank. Ambrose said the visit was “very educational and very value added,” and that seeing the fabrication process will help with future troubleshooting. Staff identified the manufacturer in the discussion as CSC and referenced CST/composite storage tank fabrication as part of the tour.
The mayor and staff said they toured booster and lift stations with city employees to develop a comprehensive repair plan for those facilities. Separately, the mayor said the city has paperwork ready to proceed on a generator addition at the well fields once a final EPA piece is received for well signage and source-water protection. The transcript notes the city was “just waiting on the final piece from the EPA in order to finish our well signage.”
Officials also reported a technical issue during an MXU project: when replacing radios some devices did not fully disconnect from old radios, requiring a manual process to resynchronize units. Staff said the issue affected device pairing but did not affect billing.
Council did not take formal action on these items during the meeting; officials characterized the reports as operational updates and next steps for staff.
