Council denies one‑time bulk‑water request amid supply concerns
Summary
The council voted to deny H&K Trucking LLC’s request for a one‑time fill (about 15,000 gallons / ~350 barrels), citing current water supply and optics concerns during drought restrictions.
Council considered a request from H&K Trucking LLC for a one‑time bulk water fill (approximately 15,000 gallons or roughly 350 barrels) and voted to deny the application under emergency ordinance 707.
Michael said the customer needs water for a construction project on Highway 139 but council members raised concerns about taking discretionary water out of town supplies during an ongoing drought and water‑use restrictions. “Do we have the water to do that?” one member asked; staff replied the town could supply the request at current flows but council members ultimately voted to deny it.
The motion to deny passed on a recorded voice vote with the council citing supply priorities and caution during low‑flow conditions.
Provenance: discussion began at SEG 2178 and decision recorded at SEG 2271–2279.
