Council approves Concentric proposal for Wolf Road pressure monitor after staff warning on boil orders
Summary
Council authorized a Concentric installation of a pressure monitor at the Wolf Road booster-station site to alarm water-pressure drops; staff cited an EPA threshold that could trigger boil orders below 20 PSI and said Concentric proposed $11,916 with $15,000 budgeted for the project.
Commissioner Peteyan presented a staff recommendation to install a new pressure monitor and transmitter inside the existing station at Wolf Road to provide alarms to the utility department and feed SCADA controls. Peteyan explained the unit will not control pumps but will alert staff if pressure drops, allowing them to respond. "The EPA requires a boil forward order to issue if pressure drops below 20 PSI," Peteyan said, describing the public-health rationale for monitoring pressure.
Staff reported a Concentric proposal of $11,916 and noted the project was budgeted at $15,000; the council moved, seconded and approved the proposal by roll call. The clerk recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed. The council directed staff to proceed with contract integration and SCADA configuration with Concentric and to report back on commissioning.
