Council reviewed Resolution 107-26, which authorizes replacement of high-service pump No. 2 at the city’s water treatment plant as part of the capital improvement plan.
A council member (speaker 3) stressed the importance of maintaining water infrastructure and asked about life-expectancy planning; staff replied the item is included on the CIP and that lifecycle planning puts replacements in multi-decade windows.
