Bloomville plans EPA-mandated lead-service verification; pool-area well casing work to cost slightly more
Summary
Street Superintendent Rick Dentinger told council the village will begin EPA-required potholing of roughly 80 service locations in March to verify lead service lines and that a related well casing/pool-area repair may require an additional $3,985 beyond the prior $19,000–$20,000 estimate.
Bloomville will begin an EPA-mandated program in March to verify the materials of residential water service lines, Street Superintendent Rick Dentinger told the Village Council at its Jan. 21 meeting.
Dentinger said the verification work will require potholing at approximately 80 locations to identify service-line materials on both sides of curb stops. Temporary utility markings are being applied in advance, and informational materials for residents are expected to be distributed before work begins.
Dentinger also updated the council on a well-casing and pool-area project, proposing an additional $3,985 to pull the pump, fill the lower portion with gravel, grout the upper section and cut the casing below grade. That amount would be in addition to a previously discussed project estimate of roughly $19,000–$20,000.
Council thanked staff for weekend and after-hours response efforts and did not take a final vote on the additional pool-area expense during the meeting; staff presented the figures for council review.
Dentinger said the lead-service verification is EPA mandated; the timeline and scope (approximately 80 potholes) and plans for resident notice were presented to the council. Work is expected to begin in March, pending final scheduling and resident notification.
