Council reviews backup water options and payment plans for fill station
Summary
Council discussed backup supply options with regional providers, and reviewed how users will pay at the new water-fill station (prepaid cards, minimum purchase sizes and POA truck payment methods); staff will ask Aaron for technical/payment details.
Councilmembers discussed possible backup sources for the town's water and how customers will pay at the planned water-fill station.
On supply, Councilmember (S4) clarified provider roles: "Rural water 1 does not produce any water. They buy their water from LaSine, and they buy their water from Water 13," noting that Rural Water No.1 would not necessarily be a direct producer and that council staff should readdress backup options with Aaron and BG.
On payments, members reviewed possible mechanisms for the fill station including prepaid cards at local retailers, driver-specific codes for POA trucks and minimum purchase sizes. Concern was raised about card compatibility and the POA's intended charges; the council asked staff to get specific equipment details from Aaron and to report back, rather than finalize payment mechanics at this meeting.
