Porter Public Works Authority reports about 2.5 million-gallon water loss and ongoing Highway 51B line installation
Summary
Department head Jackie Todd told the Board the system experienced an estimated two and a half million gallons of water loss this month, including a single break that lost about one million gallons in one day; Todd also reported installation of a new water line on Highway 51B from Highway 69 to Porter.
Jackie Todd, a department head, told the Porter Public Works Authority at its May 8 meeting that water loss for the month was “about two and a half million gallons.” Todd said a single break accounted for roughly one million gallons lost in one day.
Todd also reported that a new water line on Highway 51B, running from Highway 69 to Porter, is currently being installed. The minutes list the item under department head reports and note the chairman had no report.
The minutes do not specify the cause of the break, expected repair timeline, or measures to reduce future loss; those details would require follow-up with Public Works staff or the department’s written report.
