Stronghurst water superintendent reports frozen drain pipes, declining well output
Summary
Water Superintendent Ronnie Gittings told the board Feb. 2 that drain pipes at the plant are freezing and being thawed repeatedly, broken household pipes increased hauling, and the well's output has fallen to about 82 gpm and some days into the 70s.
Water Superintendent Ronnie Gittings updated the Village of Stronghurst Board on Feb. 2 about ongoing operational issues at the water plant. He said drain pipes at the plant keep freezing and that he repeatedly thaws them; the system also experienced a few broken household service pipes that temporarily increased usage and required hauling to catch up.
Ronnie reported that the well's output "is declining every day" and stated it is "down to 82 gpm now, some days down into the 70s." The board did not record formal action in response to the report; the update identifies potential short-term supply pressure and ongoing maintenance needs the water crew is addressing.
