Dayton utility board hears May schedule for hydrant flushing, reviews electrical backup needs
Summary
Town Manager Kurt Deltzer told the Town of Dayton Utility Service Board on March 17, 2026, that hydrant maintenance and flushing is planned for May and that staff will assess costs to add a generator hookup for a cemetery lift after a recent phase-converter failure.
Town Manager Kurt Deltzer told the Town of Dayton Utility Service Board on March 17, 2026, that the town’s 2026 hydrant maintenance and system flushing is scheduled for May and staff are preparing to carry out the work.
The report came during a routine board meeting in Dayton, Indiana, where Deltzer also described an electrical issue that affected a phase converter about a week before the meeting. He said Brand Electric responded to the site and restored service, and that when the new phase converter is installed the town intends to repair the old unit for use as a backup.
Deltzer said the cemetery lift was upgraded to three-phase power three years ago and that the town would seek cost estimates to add a generator hookup to support that equipment. He asked staff to report costs and options for the generator hookup at the next meeting.
No formal motions or votes were recorded on either item during the March 17 meeting. Utility Board Vice President Carla Snodgrass called the meeting to order; present were Town Board President Marc Buhrmester, Town Board Vice President Steve Schule, board member Mike Harris, Temporary Clerk-Treasurer Susie Sheffer and Attorney Patrick Jones. Utility Board President Rocky Richards was noted as absent.
The meeting adjourned after routine agenda items; the minutes were prepared by Temporary Clerk-Treasurer Susie Sheffer.
