Greenville utility reports March water loss of about 20%; superintendent flags septic concern and seeks consulting support
Summary
Water Utility Superintendent Steven Webb told the council that March water loss rose to around 20%, noted a possible septic-system issue near the main tank, and the council approved a consulting contract with Beacon Street Consulting at $120/hour (not to exceed $5,400).
Water Utility Superintendent Steven Webb told the Greenville Town Council on April 13 that March water loss increased to about 20 percent and presented a leak-adjustment report the council accepted.
Webb said he is reviewing a potential septic-system issue near the town's main water tank and that the Heritage Springs Treatment Plant had its license renewed with only minor issues cited. Webb also said the utility will need clear title for a property associated with the Galena Water Tower project before the transaction can be completed.
The council approved a contract with Beacon Street Consulting at $120 per hour, not to exceed $5,400, to provide consulting support; Councilman Andy Lemon moved to sign the contract and President Greg Redden seconded the motion, which passed 5-0.
Webb also briefed the council on planned IT changes: a Mirazon upgrade for Boise will move services to the cloud while retaining a local server with a reduced load, and the Keystone migration to BSA may take up to a year to implement.
The council did not record additional technical details in the minutes such as the leak locations or the specific corrective timeline. Follow-up items include confirming clear title for the Galena Water Tower property and any diagnostic or repair work needed to reduce system losses.
