Council discusses hydrant, valve replacements and hydrant-flushing responsibilities; seeks grant options
Summary
Council reviewed needed water valve and fire hydrant replacements, asked the Borough Engineer to research PA Small Water Grant options, and clarified that the Sewer Plant Operator carried out 2025 hydrant flushing while inviting the volunteer fire department to assist in 2026.
Council reviewed quotes and background for replacing water valves and fire hydrants across the borough and discussed possible funding sources. The Borough Engineer was asked to research grants including the PA Small Water Grant to help defray replacement costs. Members sought options for temporary labor and whether public works could assist to reduce expenses.
The Fire Chief and others clarified that the Sewer Plant Operator completed hydrant flushing in 2025, not the fire department, and the borough invited the Conway Volunteer Fire Department to help with hydrant flushing for 2026. Council also confirmed a broken hydrant on Foote Street is being repaired and asked the Fire Chief to check whether fire department funding could contribute to hydrant costs.
