Bulldozer out of service; Roswell borrows county equipment to keep solid‑waste operations running
Loading...
Summary
Public works staff reported a seal failure on a recently acquired bulldozer that will take several days to repair; the county loaned a bulldozer so city solid‑waste operations can continue without interruption.
City public‑works staff reported that a new bulldozer used at the solid‑waste site developed a leaking seal and will be out of service for several days while repairs are made. Abraham (public‑works staff) told the council the city had secured a bulldozer loan from the county to continue landfill and solid‑waste operations and thanked the county commission for the assistance.
Staff said the borrowed equipment — a county bulldozer described as a recently purchased machine — will allow work to continue while the city’s blade is out of service; staff framed the action as an operational contingency to avoid interruptions to the landfill and to maintain solid‑waste handling capacity.
No formal council action was necessary; the report was informational and staff indicated repairs were expected to take about four days.
