Martin to seek engineering bids to update water plan to address high arsenic levels
Summary
The council authorized advertising for engineering bids to update the city's water distribution plan to include source water as part of efforts to address elevated arsenic levels in Martin's water supply.
The Martin City Council voted on March 12 to advertise for bids from engineering firms to update the city’s water distribution plan to include source water, a step described as aimed at addressing high arsenic levels in the city’s drinking water. "Nollett moved to have the city advertise for bids for an engineer to update the city’s water distribution plan to include source water," the minutes state; Tyler Nollett made the motion and Warren Peterson seconded it. The motion passed with all members voting aye.
Council did not specify funding details or a timeline for the engineering work in the minutes. The motion directs staff to solicit bids so that an updated distribution plan—incorporating source-water considerations—can be prepared, which council members said is intended to help address the arsenic issue identified in the city’s water supply. Further steps, including selecting a firm and funding the work, were not recorded in the meeting minutes.
