Water Plant Needs Upgrades to Boost Output
City Commission heard a Wilson Engineering report by Ken Willey showing the water plant’s output at 1,850 gallons a minute, down from 2,100 with main pipe and filter cleaning needed. Upgrades cost about 127,000 dollars to restore peak efficiency and 604,000 for a 30 year capacity double. The plan would convert a 16 inch raw water line to intake and add an 8 inch main east of the river. A drainage complaint by Orville Breiner about brackish stagnant water led the panel to request an assessment.
