Public works reports equipment maintenance, water system work and new homeless camp
Summary
Public works briefed the council on equipment maintenance, recent water‑system fixes, incoming variable speed pumps, staff training and a newly discovered homeless encampment within city limits near the shelter.
Eric, representing public works, told the council the department is establishing maintenance baselines for generators and tractors and is replacing worn water meters after a small number of leaks. "Right before Paul left, he discovered that there is a new homeless camp, if you will, just beyond the shelter down here," Eric said; he noted that the camp is within city limits and has produced garbage and that staff are monitoring the site.
Eric also reported staff training for water distribution (William attending Tri Cities for Level 2 certification), upcoming variable speed drive pump installs, and a new water service at Tipsu and Sunrise for a new resident. The report was informational and no specific policy action was taken.
