Public works reports faster meter reads, hydrant checks and plans to combine road repairs with chip-seal bid
Summary
Public works staff reported installing 60 radio-read water meters with 40 remaining, noted hydrant flushing and a repaired meter box, and said they plan to combine Center Street repairs with a larger chip-seal bid that references roughly $420,000 of outside funding (source not specified) to save costs.
Public works staff updated the council on multiple operations: refinishing council tables, replacing two deteriorated entry doors, and advancing a program to install radio-read water meters. "We've got all of Country Estates done... He's got 60 in the ground right now. We got 40 more to go," the staff speaker said, describing how a route that used to take hours now takes minutes with the new equipment.
Staff also reported hydrant assessments, a repaired meter box on Turner's near the chiropractor's office, and ongoing right-of-way cleanups (47 loads removed so far). The council discussed combining previously allocated local funds with an amount referenced in the transcript as $420,000 from "T. I. V." to package repairs and the chip-seal work in a single spring bid to reduce cost; the transcript does not specify the funding source name. Adam (staff) was expected to prepare and send the combined bid.
