Well 3 outage prompts water-safety tests for Elmwood
Summary
The meeting record notes Well 3 was out of service as of midnight Tuesday and that the operator must obtain two coliform tests before returning the well to service; the water plant is "keeping up but just barely," officials said.
Meeting minutes from Elmwood's emergency session on June 30 state that Well 3 was out of service as of midnight Tuesday after a motor failure and that the village's water plant was maintaining supply but under pressure. The record directs the operator to obtain two coliform tests before the well may be returned to service.
The board approved the necessary procurement to repair the motor — a Layne Granite bid for $10,349 with up to $5,000 contingency — by unanimous roll call (3-0). The minutes do not specify a timeline for test results or a return-to-service date beyond the operator's testing requirement.
