Board approves first reading to buy 56 water services from Warren County Utility District
Summary
On first reading the McMinnville Board approved purchasing 56 water services from Warren County Utility District at $1,000 per service after officials said the district’s line near a bridge was damaged in an accident; the vote was unanimous among the six members present.
At the McMinnville Board of Aldermen meeting, members approved on first reading an ordinance authorizing the city to purchase 56 water meter services from Warren County Utility District at $1,000 per service.
The ordinance was raised after staff said a water line serving part of Warren County is jeopardized where it crosses a bridge at Charles Creek near Parkers Factory following an accident. Staff said the line’s condition could leave that side of town without water if it failed and that purchasing the services would allow McMinnville to serve the customers from its network proactively. One member summarized the rationale as "proactive rather than reactive."
Aldermen voted on the first reading; the transcript records a roll‑call style response with the six members present all recorded as voting in favor. The ordinance was read as a first reading; further procedural steps (final adoption, effective date) were not completed at the meeting.
The board also approved the consent agenda and two community events earlier in the meeting, and requested a five‑minute executive session for board members and staff after the regular meeting.
