Water Superintendent: Well #3 back online; probe replacement and bridge reroute planned
Summary
Water and Sewer Superintendent Jonathan Armstrong told the council that Well #3 is back online, all four pumps are functioning, and the department will replace a multi-DH probe (estimated $3,200) and reroute a main near the Galena Street bridge after three recent leaks.
Water and Sewer Superintendent Jonathan Armstrong reported that "Well #3 is back online," and that the VFDs are repaired so all four pumps are operating. He told the council the department experienced three water-main leaks in the last month, including one by the Galena Street bridge that will require rerouting; Armstrong said contractors provided estimates and Morgan Excavating was the lowest-priced bidder.
Armstrong said the system's multi-DH probe needs replacement at an estimated cost of $3,200 and that hydrant bollards were priced at $250 each. He also reported meeting with the Rotary Club to pursue a matching grant to purchase a hydrant. The council heard these operational updates as part of routine departmental reporting; no separate motion was required.
