Echo public works reports water-main break at charter school, orders owners to appear over collapsed gas station wall
Summary
Maintenance Supervisor Bryan Nielsen reported a water-main break affecting the charter school and told the council that the back wall of an old gas station on 2nd Ave. collapsed; the clerk was directed to send letters to the recorded and purported new owner to appear at the next meeting about the building's condition.
Maintenance Supervisor Bryan Nielsen told the Echo City Council that citywide cleanup is scheduled for April 12 and then reported two infrastructure issues of local concern: a water-main break on the service line to the charter school and a structural failure at the old gas station on 2nd Ave.
Nielsen said the school is evaluating repair options for the service-line leak; he did not provide cost estimates or a repair timeline during the meeting. Separately, he said the back wall of the old gas station had fallen out. The city previously sent a letter asking the owner to remove the building; Nielsen said the property had been reported sold but that records show the property has not in fact changed hands.
The clerk was instructed to send letters to the current owner and the purported new owner asking them to appear at the next council meeting to discuss the property's condition. Council members did not vote on demolition or repair funding at the session; the item was recorded for follow-up.
Residents and nearby property owners were not recorded as speaking on the matter during the meeting. The council did not set a deadline for owner compliance at this session.
