Water superintendent: well steady at 90 gpm; hauling reduced to two loads weekly
Summary
Water Superintendent Ronnie Gittings told the Village of Stronghurst board that the municipal well is producing about 90 gallons per minute, tower storage is holding around 54,000—8,000 gallons daily, and the village is hauling only two loads a week for backwashing.
Ronnie Gittings, the village's water superintendent, told the board the municipal well "is staying steady at 90 gpm on its own with no assistance." He said daily tower storage has been between 54,000 and 58,000 gallons, and that the village now hauls only two loads per week on Fridays to support backwashing.
The update, given during the Oct. 6 meeting, indicates lower hauling needs and steadier supply compared with previous periods when more frequent hauling was required. The reduced hauling can lower operational costs and logistics demands for village staff, though Gittings did not provide a dollar estimate for the savings.
Board members did not make a policy change at the meeting; the report was received for the record and staff will continue to monitor pump output, tower levels and hauling frequency.
