Water operator reports leak, meter replacement and plans to install chlorine pump
Summary
Water operator Norm Jones reported a broken meter at a resident's home that leaked into a basement, installed a new cell meter, ordered a brass baseplate, and said he will contact P&T and Smartech to install a chlorine pump after staff noted strong chlorine batches.
Water operator Norm Jones told the Village of Mannsville board that staff found a water leak that was not caused by the village’s cell meters and that the problem stemmed from a broken meter at resident Brenda Cedars’ house. A new cellular meter was installed at the Cedars residence and the village has ordered a replacement brass baseplate.
Norm reported the pumphouse had a quiet month but said staff observed chlorine batches running "a little strong" for a few days and have been adjusting levels. He said he will contact vendors P&T and Smartech to schedule installation of a chlorine pump to stabilize dosing. He also said Sam, who recently took a school bus driving position, will continue to handle morning water duties before school.
The minutes do not record formal motions or dollar amounts tied to the water repairs; parts and vendor costs were described as ordered or pending.
