Committee hears progress on Manchester Library air-quality tests; roof replacement estimate $613,000

Jun 5, 2026

Coffee County maintenance staff said air-quality testing at the Manchester Library produced mixed results — one vendor passed, another failed due to air-handler contamination — and recommended deep cleaning and retesting; staff also presented a budgetary estimate of $613,000 for a roof replacement and deferred final action until next month.

The full story

Maintenance staff told the Capital Outlay Committee on June 4 that two environmental firms tested indoor air quality at the Manchester Library; one test passed while the other failed because of dirty air handlers. "We had it tested by two environmental companies. We passed one of them and the other one did not pass," the maintenance speaker said, noting the failed result was tied to the air handlers and that crews would take the units apart for a deep clean and schedule retesting.
