Parlier — City staff on Oct. 2 briefed the council on a wide set of public‑works projects, saying the city has mostly completed a city-wide carbon filtration system for drinking water, is advancing multiple grant-funded water‑banking and recharge projects, and has secured several competitive active-transportation grants for sidewalks, trails and Safe Routes to School.
Staff member Javier presented the progress report. He said the city’s carbon filter installations at several wells are complete and are in final inspection: Well 8 and Well 9 each host multiple filter tanks, and a set of 12 carbon‑filtration tanks was installed off Manning (Well 28). Staff said the result is that “most of the city now is running on filtered water,” and they are finalizing inspections with the California water board.
