Town administrator flags EPA assessment, chlorination target and delayed water projects
Summary
Administrator Aiken told council the town received an EPA Level 2 assessment that includes a chlorination mandate (target 0.8) and noted delays in tank lining and meter deliveries; staff will verify acceptable free-chlorine tracking and follow up with the supplier about a $544,000 meter bid.
Administrator Aiken briefed the council that the town "did receive our EPA level 2 assessment" and that the report includes a chlorination mandate with a target level of 0.8. Aiken said she and water staff will verify the interpretation of that level and cited staff's working understanding that tracking 1.2 mg/L free chlorine in many parts of the system may keep sample results acceptable, but she committed to confirming the requirement with the EPA report.
Aiken also reported infrastructure work status: new pumps are installed but not yet operated because the Green Canyon tank is offline, and the tank lining contractor has experienced scheduling and drying challenges. In procurement news, Aiken said a residential meter bid from Core & Main came in at roughly $544,000, above the town's budgeted amount; staff plan to contact the vendor to discuss options or consider reducing initial quantities to lower the cost.
