Kiowa PWA authorizes repairs to 50,000‑gallon water tank, plans truck-loading approach
Summary
The authority approved repairs to its existing water tank, noting the tank floor is solid and has a 50,000‑gallon capacity. Board members discussed using the city water truck to load from the tank and installing a meter at the hydrant rather than tapping the potable town supply.
D. Drake reported that the existing water tank has a sound floor and a capacity of 50,000 gallons and requested repairs to make it usable for future operations. He said the authority plans to utilize the PWA water truck to load from the tank and that hooking up to a water truck on town hydrants uses potable water, so a meter will be installed at that time. The board voted to proceed with the necessary repairs (motion by M. Sexton, seconded by J. Ray).
The authorization directs staff to repair the tank and to implement metering for hydrant use; specific repair scopes, vendors and costs were not recorded in the meeting minutes and remain to be documented in the written contract or work order.
