Byron council discusses ditch tampering, concrete repairs and potential sewer-line extension; asks staff for cost estimates
Summary
Public Works Director Jacob Gruell told the council about 'ditch tampering' and broken concrete in town ditches and suggested adding locks; the mayor presented figures on a proposed sewer line and manhole near N Cloud Peak Street and the council requested further study and cost estimates.
Byron — The council dedicated part of its July 8 meeting to infrastructure needs. Public Works Director Jacob Gruell reported there has been "ditch tampering" with the gates and dams in the town’s ditches and recommended adding locks; the council asked Gruell to consult with Sidon about options and return with recommendations.
Gruell also raised the condition of ditch concrete, noting many broken portions, and a council member asked him to obtain cost estimates for replacing the concrete. Mayor Allan Clark presented data and figures concerning a potential replacement sewer line and manhole to add a line near N Cloud Peak Street; council members agreed to have a few members investigate costs and to place the topic on the next meeting agenda for further consideration.
No formal commitments or expenditures were approved at the July 8 meeting; council members treated these items as follow-ups requiring cost information before any action.
