Council seeks bids for public-works projects; additional water testing ordered after positive BacT sample
Summary
Maintenance staff were authorized to seek bids on four public-works projects and the council learned a BacT sample from the water system tested positive; the council approved seeking replacement bids for an aging water-tower radio.
Maintenance Operator Steven Dwight told the council the city will seek bids on four projects: a "Tooth Bucket," crack sealing, a snowplow and a fence; the council approved seeking bids for all four. Dwight also said the radio on the water tower is roughly 20 years old and that the council authorized requesting bids to replace or update the system.
Separately, Dwight said a BacT sample returned positive for bacteria after the sample lid was dropped during handling; he said staff will take additional samples. The minutes record that additional testing will be taken but do not specify the contaminant levels or any immediate advisories to residents.
