Public Works reports June water‑main breaks, hydrant training and sewer prep
Summary
Public Works reported two water‑main breaks on June 10 at 2719 Edison and 2801 Houston, routine testing and valve exercises, sewer flushing at multiple locations, equipment training and vendor-show attendance.
Public Works Chair Commissioner Ed Vincent reported that June water testing for chlorine and bacteria returned satisfactory results and that crews completed valve exercises and routine sewer flushing at Maplewood, West Homestead, West Beckert and James Drive. Vincent said the department repaired two water-main breaks at 2719 Edison and 2801 Houston that occurred within 300 feet and six hours of each other on June 10.
Vincent also described training and equipment updates: staff participated in hydrant-flushing training conducted by LB Water, received training on an SR-20 underground line locator, picked up a new cargo trailer for the water department and observed a 200-foot push-camera demonstration for viewings of sewer mains. He noted staff participation in flagger training and attendance at an equipment and vendor show.
