Council presses to complete water project, agrees 90‑day hookup window and discusses tracer‑wire requirement
Summary
Councilors emphasized finishing the water project, set a 90‑day connection window from meter set date, and debated requiring tracer wire or certified‑plumber connections for homeowner meter hookups; staff set a target for public use of the new fill station after FlowPoint training.
Councilors said the water project remains a top priority and discussed next steps for meter hookups and operations of the new public fill station.
Staff told the council that campers will not be required to connect immediately but property owners will have 90 days from the meter set date to make connections; members debated whether to require tracer wire between meter and house and whether certified plumbers should make final connections to protect meters from damage. The meeting lead said FlowPoint will be on site for training and the target date for citizen access to the new fill station is the 24th of the month.
Councilors also raised practical points about the fill‑station equipment and payment options: a FlowPoint terminal will accept credit cards, staff may issue codes and bill monthly (with transaction fees discussed), and the council discussed whether the city should provide tracer wire or a small amount of materials for residents doing largely DIY connections.
