PUBLIC WORKS
The Director of Public Works reported the following:
The meter that they were having trouble with during the last meeting which prevented him from attending was successfully repaired the next day. In the future it will be the responsibility of the property owner to pull the meters up from the pits and lower them. It is stated in the Ordinance that property owners must provide access to the meters.
They plan to flush hydrants next week. City Hall will send out a Code Red Alert when they are informed that this project is ready to be started as it can cause water discoloration.
The water storage tank building overhead door still needs some repairs done to it. When this is complete the majority of the equipment that is outside will be stored inside this building.
A 2011 pick-up was purchased. It has 38,000 miles on it, a plow and a utility box. It was purchased for under the amount budgeted and will need to have running boards installed.
