Council advances proposal to let public works extend secondary water season up to two weeks
Summary
Council members agreed to advance an amendment to Syracuse City Code §4.25.10 that would permit the public works director to extend the secondary water season for up to two weeks when the water district indicates extra supply and weather forecasts are favorable.
City staff proposed amending Syracuse City Code §4.25.10 to allow the public works director — or the person occupying that position — to extend the secondary water season for up to two weeks if the water district indicates there is excess supply and temperature forecasts do not threaten the system.
The change is intended to give operational flexibility without requiring a return to council for short, supply-driven extensions. Council members indicated agreement and asked staff to move the amendment forward to the next formal meeting for vote.
Robert (referenced by staff as the public works director) was named as the position that would have the temporary authority when occupied.
