Staff: Water meters, tower cleaning and new mixer will be addressed during upcoming work
Summary
A staff member said aging meters installed in 2004 need attention, the water tower should be cleaned and inspected, and a new mixer is due to be installed in the coming weeks, creating an opportunity to bring the tower online after maintenance.
A staff member reported that the utility will prioritize maintenance on aging water infrastructure, including meters installed in 2004, cleaning of the water tower and activation of a new mixer expected in the coming weeks.
The staff member told the group that "These meters have been in since 2004" and that the devices are not performing as intended, saying "they are truly not flushable," a concern that prompted the proposed cleaning and inspection. The speaker said the tower "would be a great time afterwards to start up our new mixer that's gonna be installed in the next few weeks."
The reporting indicated the planned sequence: clean and inspect the tower, then commission the mixer once staff confirm the tank is serviceable. The staff member also said they will seek quotes to rehabilitate concrete structures and posted pipes related to the sites under discussion, describing that work as part of necessary upkeep.
No formal vote or motion on funding or scheduling was recorded in the transcript; staff described planned actions and said they would pursue quotes and inspections as next steps.
