Council discusses demolishing unsafe Well #1 building with $40,000 estimate
Summary
Council was told Well #1 building is unsafe and needs demolition; asbestos testing has been completed and an estimated $40,000 would be required to properly abandon the well and demolish the building, though some council members urged delay or interim fencing.
Mayor David Porterfield told the council that Well #1's building is unsafe and requires demolition; asbestos testing has been completed. The estimate to properly abandon the well and demolish the structure was reported at about $40,000, and the mayor said funds would likely come from reserves if the council chose to proceed.
Councilman Blaide Connor suggested delaying the demolition if there is no urgent public-safety need, while Council President Rob Hartsock asked about the cost of improving fencing because of potential liability. The council did not take a formal vote on demolition at this meeting.
