Wolcottville council authorizes up to $1,000 to fix State Road 9 water main break
Summary
Wastewater Superintendent Ralphie Mostey reported a water-main break on State Road 9; the council approved paying up to $1,000 for materials and a compactor rental and heard updates on a new water operator and planned culvert replacements.
Wastewater Superintendent Ralphie Mostey told the Wolcottville Town Council that a water-main break on State Road 9 required excavation and repair, and that materials plus a plate compactor rental will cost about $750. The council approved authority to spend up to $1,000 to complete the repair after a motion by Vice President Steven Cords and a second from Council Member Jeff Sorg; the body recorded the vote as "All in favor, motion carried."
The council also heard that the town's new water operator has been learning the system and has been reliable during emergency situations, according to Mostey. He said the town is still developing a plan to replace a culvert on Wabash Street and Morrett Street but did not provide a construction schedule or cost estimate at the meeting.
The action to authorize repair spending is administrative and was presented as a routine operations item; the council did not set a follow-up date or additional reporting requirement at the meeting. No additional funding sources were identified during the discussion.
