Board approves easement to Raleigh County Public Service District to improve school water pressure
Summary
The board granted a small easement on Traphill property to the Raleigh County Public Service District for installation of a water main; administrators said the easement should improve water pressure at nearby schools and reviewers raised no objections.
The Raleigh County Board of Education approved an easement request from the Raleigh County Public Service District (PSD) to permit a water line to cross district property near Traphill and Liberty. Administration recommended approval after internal review by several staff members who reported no concerns.
The easement would allow the PSD to install a short segment of pipe crossing the road and traversing district property toward the baseball field; administrators said an expected side benefit would be improved water pressure for district buildings in the area. "This will actually, should increase our water pressure at, at our schools," administration told the board.
A board member moved to approve the easement and, after a second, the motion carried by voice vote. Staff indicated PSD staff had communicated about the route and district reviewers had discussed the impact.
Next steps: administration will finalize the easement document with PSD and record the easement as required by district procedures.
