Resident urges 4-inch water main on Miller Street; board to seek new bid and easement
Summary
During public comment at the May 14 meeting, resident Milton Gregor asked the Beaver Crossing Village Board to install a 4-inch water line (rather than 2-inch) on Miller Street, offered an easement and the board agreed to request a new bid from Stutzman Digging and verify needed easements.
Milton Gregor told the Beaver Crossing Village Board on May 14 that the village should replace the Miller Street water line with a 4-inch pipe instead of the 2-inch line proposed.
Gregor said creating a loop in the area would be preferable and that he would be willing to grant an easement for the project; he noted an additional easement would be required from Bruce Pankoke. Clerk/Treasurer Peggy Pankoke said the board will obtain a new bid from Stutzman Digging and check on easement availability before proceeding.
Why it matters: The diameter of a replacement main affects flow capacity, future demand and the cost of materials and installation. A larger main can improve service and fire-flow capacity but increases project expense.
Next steps: The board directed staff to request a new bid from Stutzman Digging and to verify easement availability — including an easement from Bruce Pankoke — before the board takes a final decision on the Miller Street replacement.
