Early schedules water‑tower inspection, 2nd Street main work and records major water‑treatment invoices
Summary
Public works director Kris Alesch said the city’s water tower will be offline for inspection May 22–25 (inspection May 23) and Schmitt Construction will begin a 2nd Street main project May 23; council-approved bills include a $223,931.95 payment to John T. Jones Construction for the water‑treatment facility.
Kris Alesch, Director of Public Works for Early, reported to the council on May 10, 2022, that the city’s water tower will be taken off line for inspection on May 23 and is expected to be down between May 22 and May 25; Alesch said the outage may cause lower pressure but should not affect drinking water.
Alesch also said Schmitt Construction will begin the 2nd Street main project on May 23.
During the consent‑agenda review the clerk read a list of vendor payments that the council approved. The bill list includes large invoices tied to the water‑treatment facility: Bolton & Menk, Inc. was billed $16,410.50 and John T. Jones Construction was billed $223,931.95. The transcript lists a total of $320,330.19 in recorded bills for the meeting.
The council did not take additional action beyond accepting the public‑works report and approving the listed payments; the clerk will process the payments as recorded.
