Scipio water test showed no chlorine; levels restored and Rural Water to inspect system
Summary
Porter Monroe reported the town water test failed because no chlorine was detected, attributed to well cycling and pressure fluctuations; chlorine levels were restored and a Rural Water representative will inspect the system. The council also discussed hydrant repair and new meter installation.
Porter Monroe told the council the town's water test initially failed because no chlorine was detected in the distribution system.
Minutes say the chlorination system has difficulty maintaining chlorine levels due to well cycling and pressure fluctuations. A representative from Rural Water will inspect the system and make recommendations. The minutes note chlorine levels have been restored and the water is safe to drink. Council members also discussed repairing a fire hydrant and installing new water meters.
The minutes do not provide technical test results or a timeline for the Rural Water inspection; they record that the immediate public-health concern—absence of detectable chlorine—was addressed during the meeting and that follow-up inspection is scheduled.
