Woodburn officials flag multiple water leaks and prepare Main Street service-line repair
Summary
Superintendent Walls reported multiple water leaks, including a service-line leak on Main Street being prepped for replacement and a 3-inch line struck at Maumee Center by Speedway. The city has an updated Zonescan leak-detection system in operation.
City public works staff reported multiple water-infrastructure concerns at meetings in May 2026.
Superintendent Walls told both the Board of Works (May 4 and May 18) and the Common Council that the city has updated its leak-detection loggers (Zonescan) and identified two water leaks in the city. On May 18 he reported a service-line water leak on Main Street that is being prepared for replacement. He also said Speedway had struck a 3-inch line at Maumee Center; that strike is noted as a cause for one identified leak.
The transcript records operational updates but does not include repair contracts, estimated repair costs, or exact timelines. Council and Board members were briefed; no formal contracting motions for the Main Street repair were recorded in the transcript portion provided.
Council and Board members also discussed related traffic safety measures elsewhere on the agenda, including an estimated $1,500–$4,000 flashing speed-limit sign for Woodburn Road (cost range provided by staff).
