Loyalton council reaffirms water-emergency status and probes "American-made" pipe rules for project
Summary
The Loyalton City Council reaffirmed a State of Emergency for the water-distribution system and directed staff to pursue procurement clarifications, with Mayor Markum contacting EPA and others about requirements for American-made pipes for the water project.
The Loyalton City Council voted to reaffirm its State of Emergency for the city water-distribution system during its Aug. 19 meeting, a move council members said will remain on a future agenda for follow-up. The motion carried after brief discussion and was moved by B. Mertton and seconded by J. Gerow.
Mayor J. Markum said she has emailed Kevin Kiley, the EPA and the President to inquire whether the water project requires "American made pipes," signaling the council is seeking federal procurement guidance before committing to specific pipe vendors or materials. The council did not adopt a procurement decision at the meeting; members said the question will inform next steps on the water-project procurement and timeline.
