Council hears early report on landslide at water treatment plant; FEMA contact underway
Summary
Councilor Eric Page told the council that fire‑killed trees and recent heavy rain pulled out a portion of bank at the water treatment plant and damaged a backwash pipe; Matt Del Moro has contacted FEMA for possible funding and a detailed report is expected.
Councilor Eric Page reported to the council that a landslide at the city’s water treatment plant dislodged a section of bank and affected a backwash pipe running on state forest land. Page said the recent rain and trees killed by wildfire contributed to the bank failure and that "Matt Del Moro has contacted FEMA for funding and will have a detailed report before long."
The council treated the landslide as an item needing further emergency stabilization planning; council members discussed the need to drop the pipe to Mackey Creek and to pursue external funding. No emergency appropriation or formal emergency declaration was recorded at the Nov. 10 meeting; staff and project leads are expected to return with more detailed engineering information and funding options.
