City staff reports progress on raw water line, pump project and street work
Summary
City staff updated the council on July–September operational metrics and infrastructure work: raw water fusion from Reservoir 5 to Lake Tuwacne is complete, the header pump project is 98% complete, mill/overlay work for Cheltenham and 1st Street cost $153,682.50 and used 3,986 tons of asphalt.
Summer delivered the monthly status report for July through September, noting some data gaps stemming from an earlier cyber incident that prevented retrieval of certain system data. She presented counts for utility cuts (31/21/26), pothole in‑house repairs (2.20/1.72/2.03), street‑sweeping miles (441/411/407) and other operational metrics.
On infrastructure, staff reported they have completed fusing pipe for the raw water line from Reservoir 5 to Lake Tuwacne and have finished installation from the reservoir’s north end to the new outlet for the new south water treatment plant. The header pump project is 98% complete with VFDs expected in three to five weeks. Street mill-and-overlay work on Cheltenham and 1st Street cost $153,682.50 and required 3,986 tons of asphalt.
Why it matters: the status report gives council and the public an update on routine operations and several capital projects that affect service reliability and road conditions. Staff said they will invite council to view the completed pump station once supporting HVAC and equipment installations are finished.
