Skyline notes water treatment payment awaiting mayor's signature; pump house and tower now communicating
Summary
Council recorded that payment #12 for the Water Treatment Project awaits the mayor's signature and that change order #6 is complete; water tower/pump house communications have improved and staff is pursuing a lower‑cost temperature sensor option.
Council members on Feb. 10 recorded progress on multiple water-system items: payment #12 for the Water Treatment Project requires the mayor's signature, and Change Order #6 for the project is complete. Separately, council members reported the pump house and water tower are now in communication, an operational milestone for the Water Tower/Pump House project.
The Water Department report (with Steve Romnes absent) said the tower system has been "running good." Staff member Brian is investigating a more cost-effective temperature sensor after the initial quote to add one was described in the minutes as "ridiculously high."
Why it matters: The mayor's signature on payment #12 enables contractor payment under the water-treatment contract; improved communication between pump house and tower reduces operational risk. The sensor decision could affect future monitoring capabilities and capital spending.
Next steps: The mayor is expected to sign payment #12; staff will continue sensor price research and report back.
