Hamilton water staff report progress on non-lead lines; fast response to recent main break
Summary
Water/Sewer staff reported progress replacing non-lead lines, a two-inch main break on Mountainview Road that was repaired within two hours, county assistance at a Jones Road site, support to Pine Mountain on a lift station, and a part-time hire scheduled to start Monday.
Ben Hood, reporting for the city’s water and sewer operations, told the council the project referred to in the minutes as "120Water" has made progress and that crews "were able to eliminate half of the non-lead waterlines" noted in the minutes. He said the county helped with a property where water lines ran under Jones Road, and that crews repaired a 2-inch water-main break on Mountainview Road within about two hours.
Hood also said water staff assisted Pine Mountain with a lift-station outage and that a new part-time worker is scheduled to begin Monday to help at the water plant. The minutes do not provide a dollar total for the project nor further technical specifications for the work described.
The report was delivered as part of routine departmental updates to the council; no formal motion or vote accompanied the water report during this meeting.
