General manager reports 7% rise in water loss after meter failure
Summary
The utility’s general manager reported a roughly 7% increase in measured water loss for March versus February, attributing the rise to a meter installed at the plant that later failed; staff said a valve needs installing and repairs are pending.
The Harsville Triasdale Water Sewer Utility Board heard that measured water loss rose about 7% for March compared with February after a meter installed at the water plant to track usage stopped working, the general manager said.
At the meeting, the general manager said crew installed a meter at the plant but the device has quit and staff have not yet fixed it. A valve must be installed to complete the repair; the manager described the meter failure as a contributing factor to the utility’s measured increase in water loss for the month.
Board members asked for questions but none were raised publicly. Staff did not provide a projected repair date in the record; the general manager indicated the issue remained outstanding and would be addressed by operations staff.
The board did not take formal action on the meter failure during the meeting; it moved on to budget discussion after the report.
