Water superintendent reports hydrant flushing, Lincoln Street leak fixed; council to seek estimates for wet-well transducers
Summary
City water superintendent reported hydrant flushing is complete, a Lincoln Street leak was repaired without a boil order, plans to replace a dead water line on Main Street to serve new construction on Alma Street, and that wet-well pit transducers failed during heavy rain; council authorized getting estimates to mount and submerge transducers for protection.
Superintendent Jonathan Armstrong briefed the council on routine and near-term water system work: hydrant flushing is complete and a leak on Lincoln Street was repaired quickly enough to avoid issuing a boil order. He said the city plans to excavate on Main Street to remove a dead water line and install new water and sewer connections for a new home being built on Alma Street, and the city hopes to replace two fire hydrants before winter. Superintendent Armstrong said the city currently has about nine hydrants on hand.
Armstrong also reported that transducers in the wet-well pit were damaged during a recent heavy rain. He asked the council for permission to obtain estimates to have the transducers mounted and submerged to better protect them; the council gave consensus to pursue cost estimates. The minutes record the operational update and the council’s direction to get estimates but do not include estimated costs or a project timeline.
