Yerington approves Public Works Emergency Response Plan with bilingual boil-water notices
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved a rewritten Public Works Emergency Response Plan that codifies emergency contacts, notes the city's four wells and monthly water testing, and requires boil-water notices in English and Spanish.
The Yerington City Council unanimously approved a revised Public Works Emergency Response Plan on Feb. 9, formalizing emergency contacts, water-system procedures and notification practices.
Public Works Director Paul Shapiro told the council the ERP is a required document and had been rewritten to provide clear structure and guidance, including call lists, procedures for boil-water notices in English and Spanish, and monthly testing of the city’s four wells. Councilman Shane Martin moved to approve the plan, Councilman Nick Beaton seconded, and the motion carried without recorded opposition.
Shapiro also reported operational details including sidewalk work with Desert Engineering and efforts to spay and neuter stray cats; he noted recent vandalism at Mountain View Park and a failing sander on an aging truck. The council recorded no amendments or conditions on the ERP approval during the meeting.
The approval places the ERP on the city record; the minutes do not list a follow-up reporting schedule or implementation timeline beyond standard departmental responsibilities.
