Board hears water‑distribution master plan status and report on recent breaks

Utility Services staff briefed the board on recent water‑main and sewer events and on progress toward a distribution‑system master plan. Staff described three June sewer incidents (including an aging pipeline failure and a lift‑station malfunction) and noted a July 6‑inch water‑main break at 830 SW 27th Street caused by a failed bail joint; staff explained saltwater corrosion on cast‑iron service connections contributed to some failures while PVC laterals remained intact.
