Water main break, lift station issues and tower refurbishment discussed; repairs expected late March–early April
Summary
Water Works operator Dan Thomas reported a Main Street water break and lift-station work; county will supply fill material and the best-case street repair window is end of March to early April. Mayor Rodenbur said the city will investigate costs and grants for water-tower refurbishment.
Dan Thomas reported operational problems for the city water system, including a break on Main Street and issues at a lift station. He told the council the county is expected to deliver dirt and material to fill the excavation, that he will remove old material and damaged asphalt, and that "best case at this time was end of March start of April to have the street repaired." The report also noted prior work by Maguire Iron on the city water tower.
Mayor Leonard Rodenbur said the council will review the potential cost of an interior refurbishment and an exterior overlay for the water tower and will look for possible grant opportunities to offset capital expenses. The timeline for the street repair and the pending tower work indicate short- and medium-term infrastructure needs for the utility system.
Speakers: Dan Thomas (Water Works report), Leonard Rodenbur (Mayor).
