Altamont utility staff report meter upgrades, KMEA coordination and ongoing repairs
Summary
Utility staff reported using new palm devices for reads, repairing leaks from a 2025 leak survey, coordinating KMEA year‑1 upgrades, awaiting parts for the east lift station, and addressing a frozen meter caused by cold temperatures.
Utility staff told the council they are using new palm pilots for meter reads and have completed repairs identified in the 2025 leak survey. The department said water samples were taken and shipped to the lab and that hydrant flushing addressed a complaint of rusty water at the auxiliary gym.
The minutes note coordination with KMEA for year‑1 upgrades with on-site assistance planned; staff are still waiting on parts for the east lift station. The utility posted a job opening and reported $781.74 received from the Collection Bureau of Kansas for past-due utility bills.
