Public works: 6th Street waterline replaced; crew shows cast‑iron pipe sample
Summary
Public works reported completion of the 6th Street waterline replacement, planned paving and a demonstration of a corroded cast‑iron pipe removed during work to explain brown-water incidents and justify PVC replacements.
Public works supervisor Corey Litteris told aldermen the 6th Street waterline project is complete and that crews hope to pave soon. Litteris said the city replaced leaking hydrants and repaired a leak at the firehouse, and that the street sweeper is back in service.
City Administrator David brought a section of about 50‑year‑old cast‑iron pipe removed on 6th Street to illustrate corrosion and explain brown‑water episodes: the staff described interior buildup that flakes off and discolors water, and said city crews will use PVC in future replacements to reduce that problem.
