Mount Carroll council authorizes $38,774 in payments, hears water and sewer updates
Summary
The council approved 17 accounts payable totaling $38,773.95, received a $4.23 million financial report, and approved purchases recommended by the Water & Sewer superintendent including two radar level transducers.
The Mount Carroll City Council on Sept. 23 approved payment of 17 accounts payable totaling $38,773.95 and heard departmental updates from water and sewer staff. The council’s financial report showed a fund balance of $4,226,248.66.
Superintendent Jonathan Armstrong told the council about a recent sewer issue caused by tree roots on Mill Street and said the asphalt repair there “looked really good.” He reported that fire hydrants at Main and Washington have been replaced and that another replacement is planned before winter, with hydrant flushing scheduled the week of Oct. 20. Armstrong asked the council to consider buying a root-cutter attachment for the sewer jetter, estimating the tool would cost about $1,200 and reduce the need to dig up streets. He also recommended purchasing two radar level transducers at $6,670 each to replace a broken unit; the council approved that recommendation by roll call.
