Pinckneyville council approves hydrant parts and valve installations, emergency pump repair; wastewater operator agreement tabled
Summary
Council approved purchases for parts to replace 10 fire hydrants ($34,830.35) and a proposal not to exceed $71,925 for line-stop/insta-valve installations, and authorized a $3,546.05 emergency repair to an S&L pump; the proposed wastewater operator services agreement with Albers Water Services, LLC was tabled.
After returning from executive session, the Pinckneyville City Council approved multiple water and public-safety related purchases on Oct. 14.
Commissioner Joshua L. Kuhnert moved to approve a Core & Main proposal to buy parts to replace 10 fire hydrants at a total cost of $34,830.35 to be paid from Water Capital Outlay; Commissioner Kevin B. Hicks seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Kuhnert also moved to approve a proposal from IMCO not to exceed $71,925 to install line stops or insta-valves ahead of replacing the hydrants; that motion likewise passed on unanimous roll call.
Earlier in the meeting Kuhnert requested approval for an emergency repair to the S&L pump at a cost of $3,546.05 to be paid from the Sewer Fund; the council approved the emergency repair by unanimous roll call.
Commissioner Kuhnert tabled Resolution No. R-2024-41, a proposed certified wastewater operator services agreement with Albers Water Services, LLC, until the next regular meeting. The council did not vote on that contract at this session.
These purchases were approved to support planned hydrant replacements and to allow crews to isolate lines during work; the council did not add further conditions at the meeting. The council also placed Ordinance O-2024-10 (a visibility easement for 204 North Main Street) on file during the same session.
