Water staff unable to locate planned backflow device on intertie; hydrant flushing complete
Summary
Water Department Supervisor Eric Antonelli reported that he and Bob Durr could not locate a backflow‑prevention device on the intertie despite plans indicating one; Water Superintendent Roger Lillejord has completed twice‑yearly hydrant flushing at low points in the system.
At the Oct. 14 meeting, Water Department Supervisor Eric Antonelli told the council that he and Bob Durr were unable to locate a backflow‑prevention device on the intertie even though plans show such a device. Councilmember Brad Wheeler observed that backflow devices are not standard on some commercial connections, a point the council noted for follow‑up.
Antonelli also reported that Water Superintendent Roger Lillejord had flushed hydrants at low points in the system, completing the town’s twice‑annual hydrant‑flushing task. The council took note of the reports and did not take further action at the meeting; any corrective or investigative follow‑up would be handled administratively by water staff.
