Council authorizes creek clearing and hears report on 6-inch water-line leak
Summary
Council authorized contractor work (by Byron) to clear Macaulay Creek intake ahead of snowmelt (estimated cost ~$400) and heard that a 6-inch leak was exposed and quickly isolated and repaired, using a valve from spare parts to restore service.
Public works staff (speaker 4) requested approval to have Byron dig out the Macaulay Creek intake to maintain the water flow; staff said the work would cost about $400. A motion to authorize the contractor work was made and seconded; council members approved the motion.
Staff also reported that when workers exposed the end of a line they found a major 6-inch leak, which was isolated and shut off in about 15 minutes. A replacement valve from parts on hand was installed and the repair likely moved the project schedule a day ahead. Staff thanked M2 for supplying necessary parts that avoided lengthy delays.
