Dakota board reviews water-tower repairs, approves well-house work estimated at $35,808
Summary
Consultants reported caulk on the water tower did not cure properly and the village awaits IEPA clearance; the board approved repairs to Well House 1 at an approximate cost of $35,808, with an intended work date in mid-November 2024.
Consultant Rimkus told the board that the water-tower caulk "didn’t cure correctly due to time," and several follow-up tests have been completed while the village awaits Illinois EPA approval to move to the next phase. The consultant estimated total completion costs for the water tower at roughly $275,000–$300,000. The minutes record that this work is being staged and that some actions are temporary to allow operations to continue through winter.
Trustee Jon Riley moved to approve repairs to Well House 1 using Cahoe Pump at an approximate cost of $35,808; Jeremy Knox seconded the motion and the board carried it. The minutes list a target date of Nov. 18, 2024, for the well-house work if approved. The board also noted Well House 2 received maintenance in 2019 and that the water-operations plan will continue as weather permits.
