Residents raise water odor and pressure concerns; animal-control and water reports presented
Summary
Animal Control reported captures of foxes, raccoons and domestic animals and urged sheltering options; the city's EPD Consumer Water Report will be published next week and confirmed compliance. Residents complained about laundry-related odors, low pressure, and drainage noise during public comment.
Animal Control Officer Wright reported captures of several foxes and raccoons as well as dogs and cats and urged residents to consider housing options because local humane societies are at capacity. David Stephens said the Environmental Protection Division annual Consumer Water Report for Union Point will be published in the newspaper and on the city website next week and confirmed that the water system "complies"; residents were invited to contact City Hall with concerns.
During public comment, resident Clarence Hilsman said he noticed an odor when he washes clothes and reported very low water pressure; Mayor Lanier Rhodes asked Superintendent Stephens to check Hilsman's water pressure and follow up on the odor. Lawanda Randolph said she was concerned about noise when her water drains after washing clothes. The council did not take formal action at the meeting other than requesting staff follow-up with the named resident.
