Summary

County staff reported a stuck ball valve in the detention center water main that can no longer shut off; commissioners approved a $4,724.50 repair estimate to prevent further damage and restore service.

County facilities staff told the board Oct. 14 that a ball valve inside the detention center has seized and the valve and related fittings must be repaired. Staff said the leak had existed for some time but had recently become urgent because the valve could no longer be shut off.

The estimated repair cost presented to the board was $4,724.50. Commissioner McElhinney made the motion to approve the estimate; Commissioner Gable seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote.

Staff noted there is sufficient money in the repair budget to cover the expense. The county directed facilities staff to proceed with the repair work so the detention center plumbing can be secured. No contractor name or project schedule was provided in the meeting record.
