Public Works to finish hydrant repairs after BowSel water-loss study; town will end BowSel contract
Summary
BowSel’s hydrant testing found multiple potential water-loss sources; Public Works has repaired most issues and will handle remaining five leaks internally, and the town will discontinue BowSel services due to weekday-availability conflicts.
Council reviewed the BowSel comprehensive water-loss study that evaluated fire-hydrant flow rates and potential sources of water loss. According to the report summary provided to the council, Public Works has repaired all but five identified leaks; the remaining five leaks are scheduled for upcoming repair.
Council discussion noted BowSel’s weekday-availability limited Public Works’ ability to be present during testing, and the town decided to discontinue BowSel services and perform future testing internally using equipment the department already owns. The town will place placards on hydrants to indicate flow rate ahead of planned painting.
