Athens board hears of two water-main breaks; approves leak detector purchase
Summary
Trustee Perkins reported two water-main breaks the prior week and ongoing leak searches; the board approved purchase of a water leak detector for $5,794.20 and authorized an employee to attend a March water conference.
Trustee Perkins told the board on Feb. 23 that the village water crew experienced two water-main breaks the previous week and is continuing to look for other leaks. He said staff will meet with representatives from August Winter to discuss sludge depth in the treatment ponds.
To aid leak detection, the board approved purchase of a water leak detector at a cost of $5,794.20. Trustee Perkins moved the purchase; Trustee Guden seconded and the motion carried. The minutes list the purchase price but do not identify the vendor.
The board also approved sending Al Belter to the Wisconsin Rural Water conference March 25–27 in Green Bay, a training opportunity the water department may use for technical updates. No further operational details or timelines for repairs were provided in the minutes.
