Council imposes temporary limit on water hookups pending boost-pump evaluation
Summary
Wales Town Council voted to limit new water hookups to four over the next six months while the town evaluates a boost pump; staff were asked to draft a follow-up resolution setting an annual hookup limit once pump production is assessed.
The Wales Town Council adopted a temporary restriction on new water hookups at its Feb. 3 meeting, voting to limit hookups to four in the next six months while the town evaluates the performance of a boost pump. The motion, made by Council member Brandon Rees and seconded by Council member David Larson, passed unanimously. Council members indicated staff should prepare a resolution to set an annual hookup limit based on a production study once the boost pump is functioning.
Council members stressed the moratorium is temporary and tied to the town's system capacity. Mayor James Roberts and council members emphasized that the limit was intended to allow time for technical evaluation rather than a permanent policy change; a formal resolution would be drafted for a future meeting based on the pump's data and system study results.
