Water report: lakes, sales to Rowena and multiple leaks documented
Summary
The city's water report showed withdrawals from Ballinger Lake and Lake Ivy, a sale of 1,850,000 gallons to Rowena, and multiple distribution and service-line leaks following the freeze; sewer crews completed several repairs.
City utility staff reported water withdrawals, sales, and leak activity to the council during the department report.
Staff said the utility used about 2,400,000 gallons from Ballinger Lake and 12,800,000 gallons from Lake Ivy; the utility sold 1,850,000 gallons to Rowena. Distribution staff recorded four water-main leaks (three 10-inch and one 8-inch) and seven service-line leaks attributed to a freeze. On the wastewater side, crews ran the sewer machine nine times and completed multiple sewer-main and service-line repairs.
An agency official told the council that customers are generally complying with the draft contingency plan and that water usage is currently not excessive.
