Commissioners approve Pea Ridge change order, raise concerns about water CIP testing and water quality
Summary
The Board approved a Pea Ridge project change order funded from contingency but Chair Spruill said he would not support the Water Distribution System CIP as written because it schedules hydrant flow testing every five years (state insurance requires annual testing) and does not address calcium complaints.
The Board approved a change order for the Pea Ridge Expansion Project to be funded from the county contingency fund; staff reported approximately $447,000 available in contingency to cover the change order and the motion carried unanimously.
Separately, Chair John C. Spruill raised concerns about the Water Distribution System Capital Improvements Plan after noting the plan calls for fire hydrant flow testing every five years while the North Carolina Department of Insurance requires annual testing; Spruill said he "will not vote for this plan until it is changed in our procedures." He also asked that the plan address recurring citizen complaints about calcium in the water. Staff said they would take the plan back to the Wooten Company for revision.
