Summary

A DNR water inspection cited a missing backflow inspection at property owned by Greg Carrel; council approved having the backflow inspection completed, estimated at approximately $350.

A Department of Natural Resources (DNR) water inspection report shared at the June 16 meeting noted the city had not recorded a recent backflow inspection at a property belonging to Greg Carrel. The minutes state, "We were faulted for not having a recent Backflow inspection from Greg Carrel’s place. It will be approximately $350." The council approved a motion to have the inspection completed.

Alderman Joe Earhart moved to proceed with the inspection and Alderman Zech Hays seconded; the motion passed. The minutes do not specify whether the cost will be billed to the property owner or paid from city funds, nor do they record additional compliance steps beyond ordering the inspection.
