Council approves purchase of 12 meters and pits to support hookups
Summary
After discussing meter fittings and inspection protocol, the council voted to buy 12 water meters with pits from Windwater to meet immediate hookup and repair needs; the motion passed after a seconder and a voice vote of 'Aye.'
Council members debated which vendor and meter type to use for new hookups and spare parts before Speaker 5 moved that the city “purchase 12 meters with pits from Windwater.” Speaker 10 seconded the motion and the mayor called a voice vote; the motion passed with all council members answering “Aye.”
The discussion before the motion covered inspection steps (trench inspection before pipe burial, then meter connection and a final inspection before turning water on) and the need to keep a small inventory to serve new home construction and repairs. Council directed staff to coordinate procurement and to track whether funds will come from project funds or the general/utility fund.
