Hurst City Council ratifies emergency repairs at Pump Station No. 4, work costs about $188,885
Summary
Council ratified the city manager’s emergency authorization to replace piping, pump and motor at Pump Station No. 4 after a failure; the work was authorized to address production loss and potential TCEQ storage requirements.
The Hurst City Council ratified the city manager’s emergency authorization to repair Pump Station No. 4, approving replacement of roughly 1,200 linear feet of 8‑inch pipe, a new pump and motor after the well failed and the existing column pipe crumbled during removal.
A city staff member identified in the meeting as Clayton described the station as the city’s highest‑producing well and said its outage, beginning in August, risked complicating compliance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) storage requirements for the city’s number of connections. Clayton said Milliken Well Service — a contractor the city has used previously — was mobilizing to perform the work and that staff authorized immediate work to have the well online before peak seasonal demand.
Clayton gave a project cost of $188,885.46 for replacement of the 1,200 linear feet of pipe, pump and motor. Council moved to ratify the city manager’s emergency authorization during the meeting; a motion to ratify was made and the council voted in favor. The meeting record shows a voice vote of “aye” with no roll‑call tally included in the minutes excerpt.
Council members said they wanted repairs completed before demand increased; no member raised a formal motion to alter the scope of the emergency repair during the ratification vote. Milliken Well Service was identified as the contractor performing the well work.
