Tabiona pushes backflow prevention program and apprenticeship grant to boost water compliance
Summary
Town staff reported progress bringing the water system back into state compliance, described distributing small anti-siphon/backflow devices to residents, and said the town is pursuing an apprenticeship grant to buy tools and support water system improvements.
Town officials told the council that recent work by the operator has brought Tabiona's water system back into compliance with state requirements and that the town is under its penalty-point threshold. Staff described plans to distribute small brass anti-siphon or backflow devices for residents' hoses and to pursue an apprenticeship grant to purchase tools to improve the water system.
"So these are just a little device to put on there that we're we're being proactive," the mayor said describing the anti-siphon devices. Staff said the apprenticeship grant would provide extra funding to buy tools and help improve the water system if the town can secure it. The council also discussed administrative access for operators to system apps and the need to coordinate logins and approvals.
