Board approves purchase of altitude valve for West Water Tank
Summary
The board approved buying an altitude valve for the West Water Tank at a vendor quote of $10,388.05 if purchased before March 30; staff will install it in-house with about a four-week lead time.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved the purchase of an altitude valve for the West Water Tank after Utility Director Darryl Green described ongoing leaks and occasional overflows. Green told the board the valve controls the water level, has been rebuilt once during his tenure, and that the lowest vendor quote if purchased before March 30 was $10,388.05. Alderman Donna R. Butler moved to approve the purchase and Alderman Jason Rhodes seconded; the motion carried.
Green said installation will be performed in-house, and he estimated approximately a four-week lead time for the part. The board acknowledged the need to act quickly to prevent future overflows and directed staff to proceed with the purchase under the quoted price window.
