Town details waterworks repairs, seeks $1 million grant and GIS mapping funds
Summary
Council reported a recent major water leak repaired by a five-person crew, discussed the need for pump and filtration upgrades over the next two years, and said it is pursuing a $1,000,000 grant for water-plant restoration plus FEMA/Region 9 GIS mapping estimated at $80,555 with a roughly $20,000 town match.
The council reviewed recent water-system troubleshooting after a weekend leak that temporarily required shutting off water to some businesses; the mayor said the repair took about an hour and a half with a five-person crew on site. He said the town discovered sources of lost water in the system and described plans to replace pumps and filtration equipment over the next two years to improve reliability.
Council members also discussed pursuit of larger funding: staff reported outreach to elected officials in support of a proposed $1,000,000 grant (described as "CVS funds" in the meeting) to restore the water plant. Separately, Region 9 will submit a FEMA-supported application for GIS mapping of water assets; a vendor estimate (Thrasher) for that mapping was reported at $80,555, with a 25% local match of approximately $20,000.
