Summary
Operations Supervisor Gus Pardo reported multiple water‑system issues including a leak at 322 N. Commerce affecting seven customers, winterization and repairs to Cravens wells 1–3, a new tap started for the elementary school, and a repaired leak at 205 E. Juanita St.
Operations Supervisor Gus Pardo presented the daily operations report during the Feb. 2 meeting and summarized water‑system activity recorded in the written report.
The report lists a water leak at 322 N. Commerce that was determined to be on the Rounds side and affected seven customers. Crews also discovered several large leaks during nighttime checks that reduced the standpipe level; winter conditions and frozen wells were cited as complicating factors. Pardo’s report states that Cravens wells 1, 2 and 3 were repaired and brought back online and that a water tap was started for the new elementary school. The chlorine barrel at the water plant was refilled, and a separate leak at 205 E. Juanita St. was repaired.
The minutes record these items as part of routine daily operations; the council did not take action on the report at the meeting.
