Utility commission reports hydrant flushing and Second Street water main work
Summary
The Reedsburg Utility Commission reported hydrant flushing operations, initiation of a Second Street water main replacement and progress on phase one of the Whitten reconnect project at its April meeting.
The Reedsburg Utility Commission reported operational updates at the April meetings: hydrant flushing is underway, Second Street water main replacement work had started or was scheduled to start that day, and phase one of the Whitten reconnect project is making good progress.
These updates matter to water customers because hydrant flushing can temporarily affect water clarity and pressure, and the Second Street water main replacement is a localized construction project that may affect service and traffic in that corridor.
A utility representative recognized outgoing commissioner Mike Gargano for nine years of service and welcomed Jake Coomer to the commission. Staff also recognized communications technician Chad Lueder for five years of service. The water department confirmed hydrant flushing operations and the impending Second Street main replacement; staff said they were preparing for the replacement work and coordinating related construction activities.
The commission reported that phase one of the Whitten reconnect project is progressing satisfactorily and that the utility is recruiting fiber line workers and communications technicians to support ongoing infrastructure work. No formal council action was requested at the meeting; the report was informational and noted operational status and staffing needs.
