Water board schedules brief outage to install valve and approves $47,490 equipment purchase
Summary
The utility director announced a planned overnight outage to install an isolation valve near Lad Landing; the water board approved $47,490 to update controllers at tanks and pump stations.
The Kingston utility director, Mr. Hamilton, reported that the city recently underwent an EPA public water system inspection and said the official report will arrive in at least 60 days. He then announced a planned overnight water outage to install an isolation valve near Lad Landing and the city water tank, saying work would begin around midnight and should last only a few hours.
At the utility board portion of the meeting, council members considered and approved an expenditure of $47,490 to purchase controllers and other equipment to modernize water-tank and pump-station controls. The motion was moved and seconded and roll-call votes recorded in favor.
Mr. Hamilton said the city will close a section of road near the water tank during the work but expected minimal traffic impacts and a short disruption to service for the affected area.
