Summary

Water/Sewer Supervisor Tim Wilson reported 14.18% unaccounted-for water, said KP Construction vacuumed Main Street pit full to the outlet with solids and recommended adding a manhole access lid; Wilson is also coordinating an NPDES update with BES and Jim Warner.

Tim Wilson, Water/Sewer Supervisor, told the council the utility's unaccounted-for water stands at 14.18% and that meters were read on June 20. He reported KP Construction vacuumed out a Main Street pit that was "full up to the outlet with solids" and recommended modifying the pit lid to include a manhole access so staff can monitor more consistently.

Wilson said he continues to work with Jim Warner and BES on NPDES-related matters and indicated that BES representatives would attend a future council meeting to update council and the community on the project. The council did not take a formal action on infrastructure modifications at this meeting; staff were asked to bring further cost and schedule information to a future session.
