Standpipe valve activated; tank to be filled and sterilized, mayor says
Summary
Mayor Gary Blackburn said a speed valve on the city's standpipe has been activated and described remaining work — two springs to be installed by Clay Valve, followed by a fill-drain-fill cycle and sterilization — a step the mayor said will resolve recent Mountain Drive pressure issues.
Mayor Gary Blackburn told the council the standpipe project has reached a key milestone: "the speed valve has been activated and they are waiting for Clay Valve to install the two springs in the vault then the tank will be filled, drained, filled again then sterilized." He said the work has addressed the water pressure issue on Mountain Drive.
The mayor described the remaining contractor steps and schedule to complete sterilization and return full service. No new budget or contract award was reported at the meeting; council members accepted the update and moved on to other business.
