Kellnersville board approves Hydrocorp inspections contract, stays with Lane Tank for tower maintenance
Summary
The Village of Kellnersville approved a 2026 Hydrocorp contract for cross-connection inspections and voted to remain with Lane Tank for annual water-tower maintenance; the board also reviewed a wastewater treatment facility plan proposal and discussed WRS enrollment for staff.
The Village of Kellnersville Board approved a 2026 contract with Hydrocorp to complete five commercial and 10 residential cross-connection inspections for $1,617.10 and voted to retain Lane Tank for annual water-tower maintenance rather than accept a Maguire Water proposal.
Trustee Scott Totten moved to approve and sign the Hydrocorp contract; Trustee Jason Kolb seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The board noted three commercial properties due for two‑year inspection and several residential follow-ups; because most inspections were done recently, Hydrocorp agreed to delay the reinspection cycle for a few years.
On water-tower maintenance, Maguire Water submitted a quote for budget maintenance and a 10‑year contract. Trustee Scott Totten moved to remain with Lane Tank, which charges $1,250 for the annual inspection; Trustee Theresa Shimek seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board also reviewed progress on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Facility Plan. Kevin Wagner of Ruekert Mielke is scheduled to attend the May meeting to discuss the facility-plan proposal. The village reported that ARPA reporting has reclassified remaining funds from the water‑tower project to the facility plan.
Clerk Heather Dachelet presented utility payment options: bank ACH (Bank First) at $30 per month plus $0.30 per item; Paystar at $35 per month plus a 2.95% fee that could be charged to customers; and QuickBooks payments with card/digital wallet fees of 2.99%, 1% ACH, and 3.5% keyed payments. Dachelet will get additional details about Bank First’s ACH option and report back to the board.
The board reviewed the utility’s first‑quarter budget vs. actual. April utility payables totaled $7,165.03; an electronic payment of $9,497.33 for the SDWLP loan payment tied to the water tower was noted, and Trustee Scott Totten moved to approve all utility checks as presented; Trustee Jason Kolb seconded and the motion carried.
