Town reports well back online; spring flows measured and infrastructure checked
Summary
Council reported that the town well passed tests and is online, and that measured spring flows showed Spring 4 at about 65 gallons per minute while the other three springs combined measured about 270 gpm; council noted earlier elevation data for the spillway and highline ditch were incorrect in previous documentation.
Town staff reported that a recently tested municipal well passed assessments and is approved for direct use in the distribution system.
During the update the acting mayor summarized spring-flow measurements: "Spring 4 produces about 65 gallons a minute, and the other 3 combined ... produced about 270," and said the system is now plumbed so Spring 4 can be isolated to avoid contamination risk. Staff also reported that dam, spillway and highline ditch elevations were re-measured and found nearly equal, contradicting older paperwork that showed larger elevation differentials.
Council members discussed protective steps for electrical cabinets and the need to sandbag particular boxes if floodwaters threaten power infrastructure. Staff said they were coordinating with the power company about appropriate temporary measures.
