Council designates Well No.3 as reserve, sets bulk water rate and hears hydrant repair concerns
Summary
Council designated Well No.3 for reserve status (retaining bulk-water use), approved a bulk rate of $8.00 per 1,000 gallons with a hauling guarantee, and heard that several hydrants are out of service while parts arrive for 6-inch upgrades.
Council voted to designate Well No.3 as a reserve well while noting the well may still be used for bulk water sales. Streets & Water Coordinator Clifford Hoffman said the well "was never put on Reserve despite not being used for some years, so the paperwork was filled out, and this saves the Borough Money on water testing etc." Council approved the designation on a motion by Mr. Konkle.
On bulk water, council approved a rate of $8.00 per 1,000 gallons tied to a hauling guarantee set in the motion (the meeting text references both 100,000 and 150,000 gallons; the adopted motion uses the 150,000-gallon threshold). Hoffman reported multiple leaks and several hydrants out of service while the borough upgrades from 4-inch to 6-inch hydrants; Council Member Konkle suggested directing bulk-water-sales revenue toward hydrant repairs.
