Mantorville approves $11,535 to begin City Hall well repairs; sewer fix could add $40,000 to 2026 budget
Summary
Public Works reported corrosion at the City Hall well and presented quotes; the council approved $11,535 to start repairs with a possible total cost up to $21,300. Public Works also warned elevated I&I flows that could force an open‑cut sewer repair, potentially adding about $40,000 to next year’s budget.
The Mantorville City Council on Sept. 8 authorized the immediate spending of $11,535 to begin repairs to corrosion at the City Hall water well after reviewing quotes for the work. Public Works Lead Joe Adams presented the estimates and said repair costs could reach $21,300 if the damage is worse than expected.
Councilmember Jim Potter moved to approve spending $11,535; Councilmember Kim Boyum seconded and the motion carried 5-0. Adams also reported elevated inflow and infiltration (I&I) flows on the sewer behind the old Relay Station lot and said the city may need to perform an open‑cut repair before next year, which could add approximately $40,000 to the 2026 budget.
The approved $11,535 is intended to begin repairs; staff said they will return with further cost information if additional work is required. The council did not authorize the larger sewer repair expenditure at the meeting but was advised to plan for the potential budget impact.
Provenance: City Hall well repair cost estimates and approval are recorded in SEG 036–SEG 040; sewer I&I concerns appear in SEG 040.
