Public Works reports failing transducer, wastewater discharge started and mapping needs; auto-transfer switch held through storm
Summary
Public Works Supervisor Tyler Martin reported a failing well-tank transducer requiring upgrade, wastewater discharge started, road access to ponds needs grading, and the new auto-transfer switch maintained water pressure during the most recent storm.
Tyler Martin, Public Works Supervisor, told the council that the well tank transducer that senses water level is failing and the previously used "aqua tape" style is no longer available, so the city will need to upgrade the sensing equipment. He said the seal for booster pump No. 1 is still pending repair, wastewater discharge began this month, and the access road to the wastewater ponds needs grading and gravel. Martin also said the city needs GIS mapping tied to DEQ GPS pipe locations because current maps are not accurate.
Martin reported a recent operational success: "The new power outage auto transfer switch worked just like it was supposed to during the last storm. City never lost any water pressure." The minutes record the maintenance needs as items for follow-up by Public Works and potential procurement or contracting.
