Mayor says valve failures from water main break could cost village tens of thousands
Summary
Mayor reported that a recent water-main break involved valve failures and that contractors estimate repairs could cost about $40,000–$50,000; council directed staff to obtain pricing and follow up.
At the March 3 meeting, the mayor reported that a recent water-main break damaged valves in the village’s distribution system. He said he has contacted contractors to obtain information and pricing on repairing the valves and that the cost could be in the neighborhood of $40,000 to $50,000, an estimate he characterized as an upper range.
Council did not approve funding for the repairs at the meeting. The fiscal officer recorded a loan disbursement of $119,468.50 in supplemental appropriations, which the council may consider when evaluating infrastructure repairs. No further technical details or vendor quotes were provided during the public session; the mayor asked staff to follow up with contractors for formal estimates.
The meeting also included routine committee scheduling and a brief parks discussion; the council entered executive session later in the evening for confidential matters and personnel issues.
