Council seeks clarity on city wells, future water tower and transmission projects
Summary
During the capital facilities review council members identified discrepancies in the well-count and asked staff to clarify ownership, active status, and near‑term projects, including two future wells and a planned transmission main and water tower.
The capital facilities and utilities discussion focused on water system inventory and discrepancies between pages about groundwater wells. Public works staff clarified that four wells are currently active in the city (Wells 2, 3, 4 and 6), that the city operates some district wells under contract, and that Wells 8 and 9 are future projects with funding in place to drill Well 9.
Council also discussed a planned transmission main and a future 1-million-gallon water tower; staff said the transmission main work should begin within months and the water tower depends on closing a funding gap. Consultants agreed to update the plan’s maps and text to show well ownership/operation and to list these capital projects in the CIP appendix.
