Henderson awards $66,498 contract to replace leaking water main on Bear Creek Road South
Summary
Council accepted a single bid from R. Jones Underground to replace about 800 feet of six‑inch water main at a low point prone to repeated leaks; the move responds to multiple recent line failures.
Utility Director Darryl Green told the board crews found repeated leaks in a low creek‑bottom section of a six‑inch line on Bear Creek Road South and recommended replacing about 800 feet with 250‑PSI polyethylene pipe. He said prior repairs required heavy equipment and uncovered additional leaks.
The board accepted the only bid from R. Jones Underground for $66,498.00; Alderman Donna R. Butler moved to accept the bid, Alderman Keith Smith seconded, and the motion carried. The minutes record that this was not a budgeted item but that the repairs were needed because the line has been an ongoing maintenance problem.
