Council hears water, sewer and streets update; grant-funded testing of 97 service lines planned
Summary
City staff reported pipe and pump repairs, three hydrants identified for replacement, chip-seal failures slated for repair in July and a grant-funded program to pot-hole 97 randomly selected water service lines to test for lead.
City staff Dana Horn and Todd Gross presented the water, sewer and streets report, detailing recent repairs and upcoming work. The record states that Well 2 was pulled and galvanized pipe sections were replaced with plastic, a rebuilt pump and motor were reinstalled, and Parkston Electric rewired a defective service wire. Staff said line painting in the business district is expected in June and that exercising hydrants uncovered three hydrants needing replacement.
Officials flagged pavement maintenance and a planned materials survey of service lines. The chip seal on North Main and South Main has oil bleeding through; staff said repairs are scheduled for the second week of July and that staff will continue sanding until repairs are completed. The transcript records that in July SDARWS will pot-hole 97 randomly selected water service lines on the city side to determine whether those lines are lead or non-lead; the project is grant-funded, with the city's costs limited to filling holes and providing manpower. Staff noted quotes will be sought for a booster pump inspection for wells 1 and 2 and for a replacement check and gate valve at the lift station.
