Council discontinues BowSel testing; Public Works to handle hydrant flow tests as five leaks remain
Summary
Council reviewed the BowSel water-loss study; Public Works repaired most potential loss sources but five leaks remain. The town will discontinue BowSel services and perform hydrant testing internally, marking hydrants with flow placards ahead of painting.
Council reviewed BowSel’s comprehensive water-loss study of the town’s hydrants and water loss sources. Public Works has repaired most potential sources identified in the report but five leaks remain and are scheduled for repair.
Because BowSel’s weekday availability prevented Public Works from being present during testing, the town decided to discontinue BowSel services and perform future hydrant testing internally using available equipment. The minutes note that placards indicating flow rates will be placed on hydrants ahead of painting.
