Commission approves purchases and payments; extends emergency Watertap arrangement
Summary
Commission approved purchases and payments and discussed extending an emergency-services contract with Watertap, which the city has used intermittently since 2013; staff said the service is intended as a quick-response safety net for water-main emergencies.
The Mount Clemens City Commission approved purchases and payments as presented and discussed an ongoing emergency-services arrangement with Watertap.
Staff said the contract with Watertap has been extended consistently since 2013 and is intended to provide emergency response for water-main events; the last time the service was needed was in 2023 and cost about $6,000. Commissioners noted the importance of having a nearby, reliable contractor in case of main breaks that require prompt action. The motion to approve purchases and payments, which included the Watertap arrangement and related invoices, passed on a roll-call vote.
Next steps: the city will maintain the emergency contract and evaluate future procurement or competitive-bid requirements as needed.
